What an amazing
four days the Swampers have just spent! As you
all are aware SwampDaWamp was honored to have
been selected as the “People’s Choice Artist”

year. The band spent four incredible days on
board the Carnival Inspiration performing as a
part of this amazing cruise experience giving

one absolutely incredible line up of talented
artists, Lynyrd Skynyrd, .38 Special, Molly
Hatchet, The Outlaws, Drivin’ & Cryin’,
Blackberry Smoke, BonePony and twelve other
artists. Everyone was simply blown away and
humbled by all the love, support, kindness and
acceptance bestowed upon them by all the fans
and other artists. This cruise truly is like a
family reunion, everyone on board was so nice
and welcomed the Swampers with open arms. The
band had a blast hanging out with all the fans
and getting to meet everyone!
The band is
truly grateful to have had the opportunity to
meet and perform for all these incredible fans
and they can’t wait to see all of you again
soon!! Simple Man fans ROCK!!! Many thanks to
everyone with Sixthman for making SwampDaWamp a
part of the family! Come on everybody, start

"ROCK THIS COUNTRY" review at
PureSouthernRock.com
by Keith Stefanec
North
Carolina's
SwampDaWamp
is unabashedly one of THE best modern Southern rock
bands out there. This six piece powerhouse just drips
the sound we Southern rock aficionados crave on their
new album, ROCK THIS COUNTRY. I've reviewed bands in the
past that are from the South but not necessarily
Southern rock. Trust me, boys and girls, this band
delivers.

Interview with Gig Michaels at Swampland.com
by Michael
Buffalo Smith
One of the absolute hottest and fastest rising Southern
Rock bands of today hails from Charlotte, NC and go by
the name Swampdawamp. The band are true pros, and have
built a huge grass roots following. So huge, as a matter
of fact, that their fans managed to vote them into the
People’s Choice slot on the Lynyrd Skynyrd Simple Man
Cruise, beating out the likes of Shooter Jennings and
Little Feat.
The band will hit the open sea January 21st.

"ROCK THIS COUNTRY" review at
RockOverAmerica.com
What’s in a name? In the case of
SWAMPDAWAMP, you just don’t know. I would’ve went with
SWAMPDAWG, personally, it uses most of the letters and
it seems to fit SWAMPDAWAMP’s country-rock sound. In
fact, they could take the word “This” out of their album
title; “Rock Country” is what SWAMPDAWAMP is all about.

By
Robbie

Southern
rock is full of characters, and SwampDaWamp comes from
the post-Kid Rock brand, though shades of Nugent and
Skynyrd abound. Keyboardist Mike “Scooby” Huffman hails
from the Billy Powell school of octave runs and whirring
Hammond swells....

The album title translates
perfectly the content and

the border between rock and
country genres and clearly
defines what has become the norm
for this artist and its label,
Big Penny Entertainment. Rock
This Country was produced by Ken

Being a big fan of Lynyrd
Skynyrd’s music and Southern
Rock in general I was happy when
I received SwampDaWamp new
release in the mail.
This North Carolina band first
hit the music scene with their
self titled debut release in
2007. I got my first taste of
the band’s music though when I
reviewed their EP SwampDaWamp
(2008).
