The Mudflapps / JP Cormier

The Mudflapps
The Mudflapps are a Chicago- based band that plays original acoustic music. Whether plugged-in on the big stage, or truly unplugged and unamplified, they give audiences a dose of country storytelling at its finest. The songs weave tales of woe, whiskey, and wild living into a mix of styles with nearly universal appeal. Sometimes it sounds like honky-tonk, sometimes more like bluegrass, sometimes more like jug band blues. It often sounds like nothing you've ever heard before. Upright bass, guitars, dobro, and mandolin combine with strong songwriting and tight vocal harmony to create a show fit for stages of any size.

JP Cormier
J.P. Cormier appears from the shadows at the side of the stagean unsmiling mountain of a man in dark glassesand stalks almost angrily to his seat in the spotlight. He picks up his instrument, adjusts his mic stand and asks the audience: "How're ya now?" in a rumbling baritone.
