Every tongue has a tale to tell, and I say we've got more than our share.
We took our name from a Dylan Thomas poem and, in the winter of 2001, set out to create our own brand of Roots music - dubbed "American Swamp". We tap everything from Roots Rock and Roll, Blues, and Motown to Americana, Cajun ,and Gospel. Once forced to describe the Bells sound in a single sentence, band member D. Miner retorted: "Imagine if the Stones came from Louisiana...they might sound like us.”
We are known for two distinctly different types of show. The first is our Electrified Roots Rock 'n Roll Show for which we plug-in and are joined by our gospel singers and, on occasion, special guest artists. Our brand of Roots music has proven to be a great fit with Blues, Rock, Americana and Country acts. Our "American Swamp Music" goes well with them all.
