There's a hot wind blowin' off the everglades this year; but Boise Bob and His Backyard Band know how to keep it cool. Performing songs like "Possum Meat", "Well Runs Dry", and "Swamp Song", you can't help but have a good time singing along. He is joined by Tex Merlot on electric washboard and vocals, Owen Cash on washtub bass, harp and pig noises, Mark Twang on lap steel and slide guitar; and Rufus Bacongrease on fiddle & mandolin. So get the grill out, the chicken, and put the beer on ice. Come see for yourself!
"Their washtub bass -- named the Holey Ghost -- and electric washboard made for a truly authentic cracker spectacle."

"Their set was a mesmerizing performance of Broward County Americana...campy, but also severely earnest."

"Like 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' twang punk....if 'American Gothic' could be delivered through music, with a wink and tongue placed firmly in cheek."
