Swampcandy is a primitive blues influenced Americana duo. Ruben Dobbs' aggressive finger-picking and rhythmic style (which often adds up to sounding like more than one guitar) combined with Joey Mitchell's bass playing, pounding kick drum and percussive bass throttling (representing the presence of a full drum kit) easily fill up the sonic space normally created by a trio or even a four-piece group. Dobbs' soulful, passionate vocals are the glue that holds it all together and makes this band tick.
Swampcandy was founded by Dobbs in 2007 and functioned with various lineups until he teamed up with Joey Mitchell in 2010 and the permanent die was cast. After only a few months together, the duo began to tour aggressively and have not slowed down since. Whether its a 20-minute opening slot or a 3-hour headlining gig, they give the audience 110% when they perform, leaving the stage exhausted and crowd satisfied.
2014 was their most productive and rewarding year to date. Not only did they play a staggering 250+ shows at venues and festivals across the U.S. and U.K., they also won the 2014 Floydfest 'On The Rise' competition, coming in first place out of 37 bands competing at the festival. Their latest album, Midnight Creep/Noonday Stomp, placed in NBT Music Radio's Top 150 Albums of 2014, and the track "1000 Miles" placed in the NBTMR Top 150 Singles category. They were awarded "Best Opening Act 2014" at the #1 venue in the world under 500 seats, Rams Head On Stage (Annapolis, MD), and received one of college radio's bigger nods when they were given Radio Flag's Radio Star Award for "Best Artist Fall 2014." The boys were also recognized as one of the top 20 bands to watch in the Mid Atlantic region by Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine.
