The Wild Rumpus

We saw The Wild Rumpus in August at Mountain State's Brew Skies Festival and loved their wit, style, and skills!

About The Wild Rumpus:
The Wild Rumpus have spent the last three years introducing the 
world to Appalachian Stompgrass through hundreds of live shows. 
Take the mountains, all the influences, whether they be bluegrass, 
blues, punk, folk or old country and roll them together and you get 
Appalachian Stompgrass, a breed of music that isn’t hung up on a 
certain label, but one that is forging it’s own brand. Appalachian 
Stompgrass? Yes. 
On the album “304” The Wild Rumpus didn’t worry about trying to 
fit in. They may lead off with a high energy mountain romp (Anna 
Lee), go to an old time bluegrass burner (Hang Man) follow that with 
a reggae influenced mountain story (Logan County Line) and then 
immediately give you a blues lament on regret (Shoulda Done Better)... 
and that’s just the first few songs! The Wild Rumpus throw in 
punk (I’m Not Here, Sins Of The Father) and some good old swing 
for a change of pace (Revenue Man, Moonshine and Crosses). As 
you’re listening you realize your feet have been dancing and after 
all, ain’t that what it’s all about? Fun. Good songs. Good times. 
That’s how The Rumpus thinks and they hope you do too! Enjoy!
