Muddy Ruckus is an American rock duo known for their raw blend of punk blues, Americana grit, and psychedelic rock energy. With Erika Stahl on suitcase-kick drums and Ryan Flaherty running guitar through multiple amps for a full-band sound, the duo creates explosive live performances that feel larger than life. Their music has been praised for its darkly poetic lyrics, swampy grooves, and high-voltage stage presence — earning them festival slots, national tours, and a devoted underground following.
