Tail Light Rebellion, Swamp Rats, An Archaic Agenda

Tommy’s Pub presents an evening of organic alt-folk. Rustbelt roots outfit Tail Light Rebellion is a vehicle for Jonny Swagger, who takes the stage armed with acoustic guitar, accordion and a suitcase drum kit. Fierce and rhythmic, Swagger’s malcontent folk-dance music plays like Tom Waits fronting The Pogues. From such supposedly mismatched elements as intricate clawhammer banjo, driving punk rhythms and soaring harmonies comes Sebring, Florida’s transcendent Swamp Rats.
