Swamp Baby plays new song “A Cold Winter”

Thanks to Tim Reidy for filming!

A Cold Winter

Autumn finds Swamp Baby creating and spawning at a truly unruly pace. About a week ago, the band played their first show in many moons, as part of the B3nson Collective’s First Annual Restoration Funstival – here are a few pictures of the band at work and play (click on pics to enlarge):

On top of all this greatness, comes news of work on Swamp Baby’s second album. We’re taking everything that was great about the first album, and upping it a notch, with many more variations in tempos, rhythms and moods – many times bubbling over into the rock and roll beast you always knew was lurking inside the Baby!

Til next time, much love to you and yours!

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!!!!!
