泥灘地浪人
一群來自美國和英國、現旅居臺灣的音樂家，在 2003 年臺北大安森林公園流浪之歌音樂節的舞台上，半開玩笑地自稱為「泥灘地浪人」。他們的音樂取才自美國早期藍調和民間音樂中，充滿趣味性與高昂的情緒，點燃了臺灣搖擺樂的新風潮。這些年來，浪人們忠於對音樂的初衷並力求精進，試圖在傳統音樂中找出新穎的形式。在專輯《擒虎記》裡，22 首曲目幾乎皆為原創歌曲，曲風涵蓋戰前藍調、爵士、撥弦樂、亞洲民謠，回應種族、移民及宗教信仰等當代話題。
THE MUDDY BASIN RAMBLERS
The Muddy Basin Ramblers are a favorite in Taipei’s live music scene for their blend of “old-time” American music styles, including early 1920s and 1930s blues, swing jazz, bluegrass, and string-band and fiddle music.
Formed by a group of US/UK expatriates in 2003, the Ramblers have played events big and small throughout Ihla Formosa, including the National Concert Hall’s Summer Jazz Party and the Migration Music Festival. Outside of Taiwan, the Ramblers have headlined the Yokohama Jug Band Festival in Japan and the Gloomy Island Blues Festival in Hong Kong.
With their arensal of homemade instruments, guitars, violins, harmonicas, and brass horns, this seven-piece band are beloved by audiences everywhere for their joyously cacophonic, irresistibly-danceable music and soulful, good-time vibes.
The Ramblers are well-recognized recording artists, having received two Grammy nominations for their CDs, “Formosa Medicine Show” and “Hold That Tiger” (both for best album packaging). The band have also received accolades from the American Independent Music Awards, with nominations for Best Blues Song (“Dharma Train”), and best American roots producer (bandleader David Chen). Band members David Chen and Conor Prunty are active in Taiwan’s music circles, with both having received Golden Melody Music Awards — Taiwan’s highest music honor — for their work with Taiwanese Hakka singer Lo Sirong.
