The Mudd Brothers debut album is a powerful cocktail of pawnshop acoustic guitar, mandolin, dobro, banjo and suitcase drum kit.

 

The band, which consists of Monty P. Marshall (guitar/mandolin), Greg Hargarten (guitar/dobro), Corey Hildebrand (bass), and Lou Fontaine (suitcase drumkit), has endeared itself to fans with the use of traditional instruments to create Americana versions of your favorite pop, rock, disco, funk, country, and folk tunes.

 

One of the band’s most popular live songs is their rendition of “Rasputin” by Boney M. The Mudd Brothers’ version takes the pop hit and turns it into a foot-stomping Americana anthem, complete with Monty P. Marshall’s intricate mandolin playing and Lou Fontaine’s suitcase drumkit providing the driving beat. The band’s ability to transform modern pop hits has earned them praise from both followers and fellow musicians.

 

Elsewhere, their down-home covers of hits such as Collective Soul’s “Shine” and The Black Keys “Lonely Boy” further demonstrates their charm by their ability to take well-known songs and give them a fresh, new sound.
