He’s followed in the long tradition of Americana folk music, in which lyrics are equal in importance to the melodies that bind them.

Sports and sushi. Music and trivia. Friends and rivals. At MUDPUPPIES, we bring so many different things to the table. But it’s the way we do it that makes them all just a little better. Great service, friendly fans, and a welcoming atmosphere turn games into get-togethers and competitors into comrades. mudpuppiesavl.com/
