Biography
Swamp Cabbage presents truly American music in that the songs paint images of the Southern US areas that inspired them. - the Northeast Florida palmetto thickets and the Louisiana gator water. Founded by North Florida native Walter Parks, the Swamp Cabbage fatback electric ragtime sound is a raunchy foot-stompin' tip of the hat to Tom Waits, Billy Gibbons and Dr John. Swamp Cabbage is new Southern music - different from, yet in keeping with, the North Mississippi All Stars and Mofro.
Guitarist Walter Parks currently tours the US and Europe as Richie Havens' lead guitarist. Drummer Jagoda was an airboat operator for ten years on nightime poaching runs in the Louisiana bayous before moving back home to the Bronx where he met Walter. Mathew Lee Lindsey on red bass from Atlanta thudded the washtub string for years in downtown Yazoo City, MS before moving to New York.
