Empty your hopper, release the valves, stoke the boiler, and jibber the jabs! Up to your nethers in regret and bad decisions, The Old Smugglers are the hair of the dog to redeem a wretched soul. Their shanty-rock, jazz-pirate sound is big, rowdy, and a little scary. Fronted by Erik Pearson, preaching tales of victory and regret, the band rides bottom-heavy grooves from Nate Johnston, sultry sax from Sage Ross, thunderous drums from Phil Reilly, and grinding organ and bass from Eric Swanberg. Whether whiskey-bent sea shanties, hillbilly horror country, or maritime folk, The Old Smugglers sing tales of decadent misadventure for troubled souls everywhere, guaranteed to be shoutier than thou.
