Description
When acclaimed performer and songwriter Pugsley Buzzard moved to Germany, he gained fresh inspiration and started to write new songs.
Together with his newly formed Swamp Orchestra (Micha Maass, Tobias Fleischer, Bernhard Ullrich & Rob Gutowski) he started to work on the arrangements and vibe of the new material.
Everybody put their hearts and souls into the process, adding all their musical experience to the melting pot which would become their debut recording.
After being interrupted by the pandemic, the band was awarded a 4-months residency on the island Rügen by the baltic sea – the perfect enviroment to put the finishing touches to the album!
The band manged to find a theater stage with a Steinway grand piano and just the right atmosphere to turn ideas into reality.
With the help of producer Jan Rubach, who brought in all of his gear from Hamburg, they quickly turned the theatre into a recording studio!
With contributions from guest artists like Ingrid Arthur (of Wheater Girls fame) and Greg Bowen (whose trumpet playing you might know from the iconic James Bond 007 soundtracks of the 60’s and 70’s), the album finally took shape.
So here it is: Pugsley Buzzard & The Swamp Orchestra are proud to bring you “Feelin’ Lucky” – 11 songs full of love, truth and a touch of madness.
