“FLORIDANA," no better word
could be used to describe the eclectic sounds of The Mud Flappers. A genre
spawned from the art and culture of the swampland they call home. Brandishing a
wide arsenal of traditional acoustic instruments, this seven piece mini-orchestra
has developed a reputation for ecstatic live performances and infectious
onstage energy. Pulling influences every which way from the blazing
bluegrass of Earl Scruggs, roaming melodies of gypsy swing à la Django
Reinhardt, to the prohibitionary jazz of your local speakeasy. This sonic gumbo
is held together by the sultrily celestial harmonies of leading ladies, Lauren
Carder and Sarah Elizabeth Patrick. Even the most gentle of men transform into
drunken scoundrels, while the prudish are left with a case of the vapors after
seeing these flappers strut their stuff.
