Muddy Roses Alt. Country Show

Introducing The Muddy Roses: a foot stompin’ firecracker of a good time. Their sound is a large helping of classic country with a side of gritty folk and swampy blues, all finished off with a dash of feminine wiles. With soaring three part harmonies, tight instrumentation, and sassy humor, you're guaranteed to have your hands clappin’ and your heart poundin’. They may even throw a smile your way, but don’t be completely disarmed by their charms, for as they say, every rose has its thorn.... 

 Their setlist is firmly planted on the shoulders of American female singers and songwriters of the early to mid 20th century - gals who had something frank to say about their feelings and did it with a wink and a smile. From tough blues matriarchs like Memphis Minnie and Ethel Waters, to Grande Ole Opry favorites like the Carter Sisters and Kitty Wells, to darlings of the Nashville sound like Loretta Lynn and Wanda Jackson; these women expressed their frustrations, woes and triumphs through song, many of them long before “Women’s Lib” became a mainstream cultural movement.
