Electric Swamp

Electric Swamp
Blues-based swamp rockers Dirty John and the Electric Swamp bring out the beauty of the bayou in their feisty and muscular songs that always pack a punch, be it acoustically performed or plugged in and charged up. “The Swamp can be varied in size from 2 members unplugged to 6 members. “Dirty John” Lepp, el Commandante Supremo, has recorded and played with Public Enemy and Pete Cosey, the iconic guitarist for Miles Davis. Cosey has compared Lepp with the likes of Billy Boy Arnold, blues harpist for Bo Diddley.
If You Feel It
There's no special trick to writing great music, says Dirty John. If you simply hit that emotional chord with the audience, you're in. “If you feel it, it's musical.” Give it a groove, lay down a melody and put some passion into the performance, and you're set to go. There's no shortage of emotional potency in this hooks of this stellar band. Dirty John and the Electric Swamp has already proven itself a top shelf dose of rock-n-roll medicine.
The Artist at Work
The band received sponsorship from Southern Comfort for its Hi Ho Lounge performance in New Orleans. Lepp has had the opportunity to record with Public Enemy and will be published in No. 38 of Blues Matters. A number of performances are planned for the near future to further spread the word about these irresistible groovemakers. Electric Swamp has announced the release of a new CD in the near future.
