The Chicken Ruckus

The Chicken Ruckus play old time and folk from body and soul

The Chicken Ruckus play old-time and folk from body and soul. Their songs and tunes have their roots in the southeastern United States, where Irish and English songs mixed with African-American blues at the beginning of the 20th century. Accompanied by banjo, mandolin, fiddle and bass guitar, The Chicken Ruckus sing about the cool mountains and the wild coasts, about the work on the track and in the coal mines, about love, life, death and whatever may come after.

Every performance of The Chicken Ruckus is raw and melodious at the same time, is performed with passion and is guaranteed to touch every audience deep inside, if they are not carried away and carried away by the stomping rhythms and the crisp bass lines.
