The Vulgar Boatmen Concert History

Pop with a delicate, intricate, urgency. Great melodies with point in time storied lyrics make the Boatmen a long time regional favorite in the midwest. Started as a Florida band, then two bands, one in Florida and the other in Indiana, Dale Lawrence now leads the only version left from Indiana. Rumors of record re-issues abound, catch them live when you can, the full band shows rock harder than the records, acoustic outings show off the poignant lyrics.
