Long Press Release
The Muddy River String Band draws the listener down a dusty lane echoing with acoustic memories of lonely mountain
melodies. Rousing bluegrass tunes cause toes to tap of their own accord. Art Garcia leads the Muddy River String Band
with his smooth vocals and driving mandolin picking. His original music journeys to a folksy, sepia-toned vision of
bygone days. Diane Prior’s liquid, bluesy voice adds power to the ensemble, while her hammered dulcimer fulfills a
longing for simpler times. Ben Prior adds the unique sound of the ‘cello with his rhythmic, pulsing accompaniment and
unusual, improvised leads. Ben Chavez on rhythm guitar and banjo and Lynda Garcia on bass round out the band.
