Jim Ambrose (guitar and vocals), Jay Henshall (bass guitar, vocals), and Mark Hylander (drums, percussion, vocals)
Influences
Jim’s biggest musical influence is John Fogerty of Creedence
Clearwater Revival fame. Like Fogerty, his guitar playing is economic, but
tasteful. His vocal delivery is raw and gritty, and the music he performs with
the Swamptones is filled rhythm Besides Fogerty, Jim also draws from great blues
and soul vocalists like Howlin’ Wolf, Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding. Other
guitar influences include George Thorogood and Keith Richards, both
students of the ‘less is more’ school of note selection.
