About Muddy Ruckus
Muddy Ruckus is an American rock duo known for their raw blend of punk blues, Americana grit, and psychedelic rock energy. With Erika Stahl on suitcase-kick drums and Ryan Flaherty running guitar through multiple amps for a full-band sound, the duo creates explosive live performances that feel larger than life. Their music has been praised for its darkly poetic lyrics, swampy grooves, and high-voltage stage presence — earning them festival slots, national tours, and a devoted underground following.

"Using the striking, heavy language of romanticism, the emotional impact of the words is not so much overwhelming as it is effective. Rare that a song can accomplish what classic literature sought to." - Gas Mask Magazine
"Vacationland rocks like it’s opening a portal to another dimension. The tunes are vivid with visions that sound like nightmares sung in lullabies... A sonic blood rush to places nobody imagined existed.” - Motif Magazine
