Cottonmouth

Cottonmouth is an anthem of rock and roll with an unstoppable energy driven by catchy electric guitar riffs, three-part harmonies, and fist-pumping crowds. The St. Augustine band always seems ready for a musical throw-down, bringing an on-stage aura that is hard to ignore and a pity to miss. Cottonmouth is rooted in classic rock, performing a variety of both covers and their own foot-stomping originals that are so well-written that they're almost familiar, as if you've heard them before. They are natural rock and rollers, adding to the hard rock and progressive rock mix, all under the umbrella of their characteristic hard-edged southern rock sound. 

Led by lead electric guitarist and lead vocalist Jody Stratton, the band's signature sound is built on this multi-talented and multi-faceted musician. It's clear that the ensemble is extremely well-rehearsed, but also leaves room for the improvisational and the unexpected within their live performances. James Wilson holds down the electric rhythm guitar and will also jump on the chance to shred a lead guitar riff, showcasing the dynamic of switching musical positions on a moment's notice. The group also consists of Rob Hunter on keys and Tommy Hurley on drums with countless guest appearances by various bass players and percussionists. The ensemble's choice of cover songs varies from The Allman Brothers Band to Jefferson Airplane, bringing audiences a wide variety of well-known favorites to enjoy.
