Ryan Flaherty and Erika Stahl, the powerhouse behind Muddy Ruckus

In the summer of 2016, Muddy Ruckus dropped their second record, Pretty Bones. Like the seasons’ scorching sun, Pretty Bones was a fiery follow up to their roots-driven self-titled debut from 2014, adding an even more raucous flair to their brand of folk-laden, duo-stomp rock. And while that record went on to win Album of the Year from Red Line Roots, nothing but their live shows could prepare listeners for the grit and intensity of Muddy Ruckus’ latest album Bellows To Mend.

Fast-forward to now, and the band is reigning in their ruckus and revealing a bit of their softness with their new single “Brimstone,” featuring bassist Mark Abraham from Enter The Haggis. Haunting whistles and warm, soulful harmonies lure you in — all the while building up into a powerful, rootsy, instant rock classic you’ll want to play again and again. Listen below and hear their unique blend of seasoning, spices, and textures from a road well traveled helping you to ease your mind and go wherever the music takes you.

Muddy Ruckus is opening for Enter The Haggis on Feb 1st, 2019 at Port City Music Hall in Portland, Maine. Listen to the show before you go on GetRadPlaid.com and hit the follow button to get updates and reminders for the upcoming show.
