Skunk Ruckus is a four to five piece self described hillbilly gutrock band. Mr. Jim Daddy frails his banjo, stomps his bass drum and hollers. Dr. Dave brings his piercing wall of sound. Brother Brad Lovejoy channels ODB. The bottom end is held up by Maxxx Steel on upright and electrical bass. This is a high energy group that is steeped in tradition but embraces a punk rock ethic.
They have been featured in the WNC area at venues and festivals, toured with and opened for national touring bands (The Swaggering Growlers, Southern Culture On The Skids, Joe Buck, And The Saddle Tones to mention a few).
