"Rootsy, southern-fried blues doesn't come much more boggy than Swamp Cabbage." Jon Sobel - BlogCritics.org

Founded by Jacksonville Florida native Walter Parks, Swamp Cabbage presents a three piece soundtrack to a voyage through Northeast Florida palmetto thickets and Southeast Georgia gator marshes. Swamp Cabbage is true Americana roots music.

Walter's electric guitar style is a mélange of Scott Joplin's ragtime and Jerry Reed's bayou pickin. Jim DeVito's bass barks like a tuba through a fuzz box and Jagoda drums like he's leadin' a New Orleans funeral parade. The group has recorded three CDs – the self released debut "Honk" in 2006, "Squeal" released in 2008 on the ZOHO Roots label and live endeavor recorded in New York entitled "Live On The In Tune" in 2010. ..

Swamp Cabbage's song "American Guns Theme Song" derived from "Tallahassee" off their 2004 release HONK is used as the theme song to the new 2011 Discovery Channel reality show "American Guns".

For ten years guitarist Walter Parks toured throughout the US and Europe as Richie Havens' lead guitarist. Walter's first solo CD will be released digitally December 6, 2011.
