Swampgrease

Swampgrease, the brain child of New Orleans monster drummer, Terence Higgins, of the Warren Haynes Band, John Scofield, Ani Difranco and legendary DIRTY DOZEN BRASS BAND was formed in 2004 as a side project and an outlet to showcase some new music. The recording of Swampgrease's first CD, "In the Bywater", was only the beginning. Swampgrease offers energy, excitement and blistering live shows and is by far one the hottest bands on the scene today. This dynamic group is comprised of some of premier, well known and seasoned musicians with outstanding credentials, featuring Terence Higgins (Warren Haynes Band, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Ani Difranco), Nigel Hall (Warren Haynes Band, Lettuce), Calvin Turner (Raphael Saadiq) and Andrew Block (Big Sam's Funky Nation). “It’s all about the roux” with each member bringing there own brand to the music, making Swampgrease funk bone crushing. Specializing in New Orleans grooves and keeping in touch with early New Orleans funk and R&B, with a special blend of rock and fusion and soulful vocals. The Band draws it’s influence from the legends of New Orleans music and beyond, from the old to the new and everything in between. By keeping one foot planted firmly in the past and a good eye on the future. The torch has been past as Swampgrease usher’s in a new era of funky music.
