About Us

Muddy River String Band plays an eclectic mix of Americana. From folk to blues, bluegrass to old-time, we play what we like. Our unusual instrumentation includes the hammered dulcimer and the 'cello. Our music is bright and energetic, with the occasional moody tune.

We are available for special events, parties, weddings, and reunions. For booking contact us at MuddyRiverSB@gmail.com
or call Art Garcia at (505) 553-0616

News - March 14, 2008

We played at The Explora Museum for Adult Night. We really enjoyed ourselves. We performed next to the fountain and we kept getting distracted by the water! We would like to thank Patricia Decker for booking us, and making us feel at home. The Explora staff were all very friendly. Also we would like to thank Michael and Judy Muldawer for coming out to see us!
