The Swamp Stompers play funky rock and blues with heavy grooves. Emerging from the dirty backwaters of NSW, the band sounds like the musical lovechild of John Butler Trio, Led Zeppelin, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, with catchy guitar riffs and didgeridoo soundscapes setting this original blues-rock trio apart from the pack.
The Swamp Stompers have been stomping their mark on prominent Australian festivals since 2012, including recent stand out performances at Blues on Broadbeach (QLD) and Queenscliff Music Festival (VIC). The band is renowned for their incredibly high-energy live shows, with punters and peers left in complete awe by their raw power and finesse.
The band’s 2018 single ‘Shadows on the Wall’ received regular airplay on Triple J, while the ‘Shadows on the Wall’ EP peaked at #8 on the Australian Blues & Roots Airplay Chart and landed at #8 on the AMRAP Regional Community Radio Chart. The Swamp Stompers debut 13-track album will be released on 28th September 2021.
After 10 years together, The Swamp Stompers will be breaking up. A European farewell tour is planned for May 2022 and an Australian farewell tour will take place in late 2022, completing the final jewel in the touring crown for one of Australia’s most popular young blues-rock bands.

The Swamp Stompers (Debut Album)
Released September 2021
The Swamp Stompers long awaited debut album is finally here! Featuring the original lineup of Corey Legge, Luke Ligtenberg and Mitch Broadhead, the blues-rock trio’s debut 13-track album is sure to please die-hard fans and newcomers alike. With a mix of re-recorded old crowd favourites (Fly, Medusa the Seducer, The Game of Life), old school covers (Boom Boom by John Lee Hooker and Black & Blue by Chain), re-mixes of tracks from the 2018 ‘Shadows on the Wall’ EP (Hey, Shadows on the Wall, Wishing I Had You), and brand new songs (Goin’ Down South, Argentinian Woman, One Step Forward Two Steps Back, You Know You Got It (Feel Alright), Make Hay While the Sun Shines), this album perfectly captures The Swamp Stompers signature gritty, upbeat and funky blues-rock sound in one neat package. Featuring two lead vocalists, swirling didgeridoo, catchy guitar riffs, searing slide guitar and thumping drum and bass grooves, this exciting record will appeal to fans of John Butler Trio, Ben Harper, Gary Clark Jr, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, AC/DC, Sly & The Family Stone, Muddy Waters, Freddie King, Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
After 10 years together, The Swamp Stompers will be breaking up. A European farewell tour is planned for May 2022 and an Australian farewell tour will take place in late 2022, completing the final jewel in the touring crown for one of Australia’s most popular young blues-rock bands.
