Description
The DEFiBULATORs are reinventing country music by fusing bluegrass, rockabilly, dixieland, and punk into their own eclectic sound for a new generation. This septet wields an arsenal of instruments (upright bass, banjo, fiddle, harmonica, Telecaster, and washboards) with relentless energy and virtuosity. Bug Jennings and Erin Bru's razor-sharp harmonies combined with dark, surreal lyrics illuminate songs that are gritty and witty. AM NY describes the band as "one of the most engaging live acts on the NYC roots scene." While jumpstarting new life into vintage country, characterized by THE NEW YORKER as “Citibilly,” The Defibulators deliver a unique sound that is both timeless and timely, deep fried and downtown.
They've played numerous street fairs and festivals in NYC and around the country, including high profile concerts for Central Park Summerstage, Guinness, Macy's, and The New Yorker Magazine.
The band has self-published their very own 24-page coloring book and tours the country in their 1977 Dodge ambulance.
