Wammo vs. Forsyth

Two of the founding fathers of the Asylum Street Spankers have joined forces and are playing a series of shows, starting with a tour across the Great American West! Wammo: Front man, wild man, washboard player, harmonica player, record producer, video director, cultural instigator, three time national poetry slam finalist, visual artist, DJ, actor, Wammo has been touring since 1987. He started Asylum Street Spankers with Guy Forsyth in 1994, the same year he toured with Lollapalooza and the MTV Spoken Word Tour. He released over a dozen records with the Spankers and three solo records.. Wammo played the role of the Anti-Artist in Richard Linklater's debut, Slacker and his song Stick Magnetic Ribbons on Your SUV, a parody of Tie A Yellow Ribbon, has garnered over a million hits on YouTube. He lives in Austin, Texas with his wife, his baby girl, his record collection and your beer. Guy “Spanky” Forsyth: Voted Best Male Vocalist in the Austin Music Awards, Guy Forsyth is one of the pre-eminent showmen, songwriters and guitarists in a town known for great songwriters and guitarists. Since his days with the Asylum Street Spankers, Guy Forsyth has established himself as one of Texas’ favorite sons, releasing a number of albums, including Love Songs: For And Against, Calico Girl, the double-live album Unrepentant Schizophrenic Americana and most recently the DVD 300 Miles From There To Here. When he's not crisscrossing the globe, he makes Austin his home, teaches tai chi, loves his wife and daughter more than life itself, and plays more instruments that we can list in a one page press release.
