PRESS RELEASE: The Mutter Slater Band
The Mutter Slater Band plays 60’s American blues, soul and R’n’B and their music is warm, danceable and lyrically intriguing.

After Stackridge, Mutter returned to a life of quiet domesticity in the South West of England. The songwriting and preforming bug eventually got the better of him, leading to the formation of his band and a return to the recording studios – Love & Hate 2006, Riding the Hurricane 2008(produced by Billy Bragg) and 2014’s Absobloodylutely.
