The Stomping Boondocks are: Paul Good (Caller, Vocals, Guitar), Jerry Bird (Fiddle, Mandolin, Vocals), Karl Hayman (Guitar, Vocals, Percussion), Graham Gosnell (Drums) and Adam Parker (Bass)
Formed in the early stages of 2015, Paul aimed to create his own brand of Folk & Ceilidh after years of working within the scene and as such, the Stomping Boondocks were born – beginning their evolution from a Levellers-inspired acoustic outfit into the upbeat folk-pop band they are now. He has brought together a creative and unique selection of highly experienced musicians with credits across Europe to share his folk vision.
The Stomping Boondocks can now be found across the country and abroad bringing their individual blend of Celtic Folk, traditional Ceilidh and a hint of rocky charm to weddings, functions, festivals and boozers near you!
