About The Swamp Blues Band

AS POLISHED AS SAND PAPER

The Swamp Blues Band ventures into the Florida Everglades 

for forgotten stories and songs, myth and legend, as told by first hand accounts of the pioneer families who call it home.


We also celebrate, and support, every effort to protect and preserve the Florida everglades and its magnificent wildlife habitat, for generations to come. 

Guy Bradley is our hero. Check him out.


Swamp blues can be found particularly in the South East US

but Florida has its distinctive signature. 

Strong percussive rhythms, legendary growling, soulful singing, and a no-frills-just-blues approach everybody loves.


From Tampa Red to Ida Goodson, from Gabriel Brown to Johnny Bassets, from Mississipi John Hurt, to Willie Dixon 

and Ray Charles and every single bayou in between,

"HOME IS WHERE THE BLUES IS"
