"Genuine Muckland Music from the Potato Fields of Upstate NY".
The Muckland Crooners offer a unique and eclectic brand of musical entertainment that you'll not hear the likes of anywhere else on the planet.
The group is a showcase act for original compositions that come from each of its members. The sound is part jug band, part roots-country. They can take you from growling street-corner blues to the sweet, precise four-part harmonies of a country-rock ballad. There's an element of avant-garde musical comedy, as well as sounds that are reminiscent of vaudeville-era swing.
The Muckland Crooners consist of a central core of four, with a few other contributing members occasionally pitching in. Diverse and yet cohesive, listeners will detect a connection typically reserved for siblings or other family singing groups. Indeed, there is a musical brotherhood at work, here - with all the members having grown up together in small town upstate NY. Together, the common persona of this band "The Garage Band that Refused to Die', is one that could have only flowered through decades of association.
The band often employs the use of strange homemade instruments, cigar box guitars and the like. The overall effect is one of a fun-loving group that refuses to take itself too seriously. Listeners will be tempted otherwise, however. The presentation may be tongue-in-cheek, but there is a bedrock core of spot-on vocal performances, solid musicianship and top-notch songwriting. These are songs that will burrow deep and stay with you.
Impossible to pigeon-hole into one neat category, a whole new musical genre had to be coined to describe the Muckland Crooners. They call it Muckland Music. It's under that umbrella that the Muckland Crooners will lead you on a fun and fanciful musical journey through their (part reality, partly contrived) small town - potato farming heritage.
