Spackle

Miami's Own Brand of Improvisational Southern Rock

About Me

In the vein of the great 60's and 70's improvisational power groups (Allmans, Cream, Jimi Hendrix), Spackle creates a new and modern power combo. The thundering rhythm section of Matt Schuler and Manny Ramos, coupled with the searing guitars of Scott Mayer and Albert Castigila, makes Spackle a Tour-de-force of rock n roll and one of the best live bands that Miami has to offer. Spackle has shared the stage with Mike Gordon of Phish, Col. Bruce Hampton and the Codetalkers, Dubconscious, Robert Walter's 20th Congress, Iko Iko, The Spam Allstars and many more.COME OUT AND HEAR IT FOR YOURSELF
