   About Ruckus & Fray
We are Ruckus & Fray, thanks for stopping by!

Three of us (the non-percussive ones) met way back in 2003 during our first year of college. Since then we've written an embarrassing number of songs about wraps (the food, not the clothing item), added our drummer Phil, wrote some serious songs and even recorded an album, in true undiscovered rock band fashion, in Ted's basement. Meanwhile, Dave keeps practicing his punk jump and Matt won't stop buying instruments.

We like the blues, jangly rock and roll, bluegrass and acoustic folksy stuff. We hope to be playing around Madison more than ever now, so if you like what you hear drop us a line. And, in case you were curious, we got our name from a Halloween email from the University--ask us about that sometime.

It is a great day to be alive!

Thanks for including me!

 

What Question can I ask to empower myself and others?

What new thought can I notice now to add to my creativity?

How can I improve the experience of those I encounter today?

What can I do to facilitate your Gift?

 

Yesterday Is History

Tomorrow is a Mystery

Today is a Gift...

That's why we call it the Present

 

Blessings,
