The Mudflapps are a Chicago- based band that plays original acoustic music. Whether plugged-in on the big stage, or truly unplugged and unamplified, they give audiences a dose of country storytelling at its finest. The songs weave tales of woe, whiskey, and wild living into a mix of styles with nearly universal appeal. Sometimes it sounds like honky-tonk, sometimes more like bluegrass, sometimes more like jug band blues. It often sounds like nothing you’ve ever heard before. Upright bass, guitars, dobro, and mandolin combine with strong songwriting and tight vocal harmony to create a show fit for stages of any size.

Groundspeed Bluegrass Band performs a mix of traditional bluegrass and newgrass tunes – keepin’ the tradition alive. The band’s four members blend banjo, guitar, dobro, fiddle and upright bass, delivering the unmistakable and original American sound of bluegrass.

What has 60 fingers and a bloody banjo? Blisteringly fast, hard foot stomping, unapologetic anti-grass…an amalgam of bluegrass and everything but the kitchen sink that is sure to, put a smile on your face, get you dancing and kick your ass all at the same time.

HEYOOOH!!! Best have your best dance’n shoes on and your beer held high! Rickett Pass is built of 4 everyday bastards lookin to RIP up some tunes and have one hell of a hangover in the mornin’. We could tell you some long drawn out story of our lives but thats boring and takes away time from shoot’n whiskey and play’n tunes. So come out and party with us, and if you want our story “I’ll pull my fist outchya mouf and you can ask” smiles, see ya there. With Love, your Bluegrass Bastards.
