"Mountain Walrus‘ self-titled debut album is a fearless dive into gritty southern funk, blending infectious grooves, evocative lyrics, and electric energy long after the last note rings out. The seven-track record is a defining moment for the band, carving out a distinct identity with tracks that pack a raw punch, colored by brassy funk riffs and blues-tinged rock..." ~Stu Kelly, themelomaniacs.com

About
Mountain Walrus plays big energy, high vibing funk rock, sewn tight and jammed out. Foster Burton, singer, songwriter, and guitarist, is a workingman’s rockstar, playing over 100 gigs per year, with Mountain Walrus fast becoming his foremost creative vehicle. Ben Hite, a keyboard wizard who also contributes lead and backing vocals, electrifies the deep grooves. Mason Jennelle blends decades of drumming nuance with backing vocals and a performative style that makes him a show unto himself atop the throne. Daniel Kuder rounds out the rhythm section, amplifying a fresh low end until it shakes. Ryan Ratliff sanctifies the Mountain Walrus sound with saxophone, adding brassy dazzle and seductive mystique. If original songwriting, improvised jamming, and funky grooving music is your thing, then get out to the next Mountain Walrus show for two sets of new music, mixed with unexpected covers and peaking jams.
