ABOUT

Like bulls in a china shop, The Old Smugglers are here to take the stages and rattle the cages while throwing glass shards of hope into your hearts and earholes! The Old Smugglers’ transient circus of shipwrecked fools steals the devil’s words and slings them with undeserved confidence and reckless abandon.

Be it whiskey-bent sea shanties, hillbilly horror country or maritime folk from the lost coast, The Old Smugglers sing tales of decadent misadventure for troubled souls everywhere. Their music smells like an empty bottle of moonshine, feels like a rusty hook against the throat, and looks like a dark alley behind the Shoutier Than Thou Hotel at the corner of Waits and Cave. Yar!
