Pugsley Buzzard and the Swamp Orchesra:
The five-piece band dances exuberantly through time and space. Offbeat honky tonk meets the magic of Zappa and invites the beat poets Kerouac and Ginsberg for a drink. Pugsley Buzzard’s compositions tell of life-scarred vagabonds and sing the songs of the uprooted troubadours. Pugsley’s raw baritone gets under the skin and lets anyone with a heart in their chest experience the love of life and the blazing flame of passion. With him, the first-class band celebrates a Big Easy party and bows deeply to the Beat Poets, with the motto – Get The Buzz.
