Scuffletown with Matty Metcalfe have been shaking stages from Nashville to Dublin for longer than they care to admit. Their swampy, high-energy brand of Americana is tinged with influences from delta blues to modern alt-country (with just a touch of jazz, swing, zydeco and bluegrass thrown in for good measure), and their combination of acoustic guitar, steel slide, harmonica, flute and accordion rocks familiar songs as well as their acclaimed originals. The Trio has been performing and touring collectively for more than 20 years which includes a recent 2024 featured appearance at the prestigious Willie Clancy Festival in County Cork, Ireland.
