| Bio: |
Blues-based swamp rockers Electric Swamp bring out the beauty of the bayou in their feisty and muscular songs that always pack a punch, be it acoustically performed or plugged in and charged up. “The Swamp can be varied in size from 2 members unplugged to 6 members. It's core nucleus consists of “Dirty John” Lepp, and Billy Rodriguez. Lepp has performed with Pete Cosey, the iconic guitarist for Miles Davis. Cosey has compared Lepp with the likes of Billy Boy Arnold, blues harpist for Bo Diddley. Rodriguez has an influential history with world and roots flavors, dipping into such musical styles as salsa, merengue, blues and reggae.
If You Feel It
There's no special trick to writing great music, says Electric Swamp. If you simply hit that emotional chord with the audience, you're in. “If you feel it, it's musical.” Give it a groove, lay down a melody and put some passion into the performance, and you're set to go. There's no shortage of emotional potency in this hooks of this stellar band. Electric Swamp has already proven itself a top shelf dose of rock-n-roll medicine.
The Artist at Work
The band received sponsorship from Southern Comfort for its Hi Ho Lounge performance in New Orleans. Lepp has had the opportunity to record with Public Enemy and will be published in No. 38 of Blues Matters. A number of performances are planned for the near future to further spread the word about these irresistible groovemakers. Electric Swamp has just released a new CD.
