One thing that doesn’t get talked about enough is just how damn silly Swamp Baby can be. We’re all goofballs, and as proof, here’s an old (as in 2008) rendition of “Mirror of Lavender” – note the switch of Mike from bass to crazy slide guitar about 1/4 of the way through, and Frank’s absolutely insane keyboard solo – good times, folks!!

So here we are, about a month away from the release of our first full length album, All Fours. At this very moment, Nick Matulis, lead Swamp Baby singer/songwriter, is out in the Bay area of California, visiting  our good friends Tom and Becky Burre – last we heard earlier today, they were in the hospital, getting ready for the birth of their first child, a baby girl.

In celebration, we’re posting a tune Nick wrote during his previous visit to the Burres of Half Moon Bay. This is a particularly fine version due to the beautiful group vocals provided by the audience at this show, recorded at the old Amrose Sable Gallery (which recently became a venue again – thanks to Alex Muro of Sgt Dunbar & the Hobo Banned (http://sgtdunbar.com/) Yahh !)

Til next time, we hope you like,  and congratulations Tom and Becky!!!!!
