Big Muddy has a unique sound that doen't neatly fall into a specific genre. Writing original songs, drawing from psychodelic jazz, improv. and blues. Playing soulful melodies and catchy rhythms, this band is comfortable playing a mellow lounge setting as a Duo, or a bigger music venue or a festival as a four piece...

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my 2nd horror novel SACRIFICE is now in stores everywhere, including Amazon.com! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride! Here are a couple reviews it's gotten so far:
“SACRIFICE is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend SACRIFICE.” —Famous Monsters of Filmland
“John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes
I’m raising awareness to sexual abuse. It’s my mission to stop the shame associated with being a victim. It’s time to raise ourselves up, look at tomorrow and stop dwelling on the past. 50% of all CD sales will go directly to R.A.I.N.N. and Stop It Now organizations. Change Rocks, check out my new music.
