The Redneck Riviera Tour comes to Nashville – June 9th

“Internet-famous” comedy music duo Stuckey & Murray team up with the “irresistibly infectious and rowdy” DEFiBULATORs for a Southeastern tour, which stops in Nashville June 9th at 3rd & Lindsley. Showtime is 7:30. Stuckey & Murray were last seen performing in Nashville in 2005 as part of their “Family Reunion Tour.”

New York City’s greatest left-handed, comedy music duo (Stuckey & Murray) are hitting the road with country music darlings, the DE- FiBULATORs. The Redneck Riviera Tour is a two act party you don’t want to miss. Packed with laughs, videos and great music, Stuckey and Murray and the DEFiBULATORs tear their way across the South for 10 days this June.

Each show begins with Stuckey & Murray who will make their Network television debut on NBC this summer on Last Comic Standing. The duo sings hilarious, original songs that have been seen by millions on the web and whoever watches MTV, VH-1 and E!’s “Chelsea Handler Show”. Once you’re warmed up, it’s time to get rowdy with the foot-stomping music of The DEFiBULATORs, who have emerged as one of the most engaging live acts from the thriving roots scene in Brooklyn, NY – melding, bluegrass, rockabilly, dixieland and punk into their own eclectic sound.
The tour kicks off in Stuckey’s home state of Alabama at the Bama Jam Music Festival, winds its way through Georgia and Tennessee and ends in the heart of the Redneck Riviera at the world famous Flora-Bama.

Stuckey & Murray
Andy Stuckey and Jon Murray are more than a comedy music duo they’re an anomaly. Since the erection of their comedy empire 10 years ago, Stuckey & Murray have won the affection of their parents and millions of fans by appearing on E!’s “Pre-Oscar Show”, “The Chelsea Handler Show”, and The Discovery Channel’s “Cash Cab”.

Their music videos and sketches have resulted in over 20 million hits on the web and they’ve built a fan base around the world by touring and performing at The Virgin Music Festival, The Edinburgh Fringe, The Montreal Comedy Fest, and at All Points West. Europeans tend to call them “supercool”.

Here’s Stuckey and Murray’s song about TV Drama’s live at Comix in NYC:

Their two studio albums – Destination: Rock Bottom and Mythical Fornication (co-produced by Dean Baltulonis, The Hold Steady) are both available at www.stuckeyandmurray.com, Cdbaby.com, and the iTunes Music Store. Stuckey & Murray are played frequently on Sirius Radio and morning radio shows. They’ve also composed music for MTV, NBC and even Billy Ray Cyrus. No, I’m not joking. P. Diddy has called their music “dope” and Shakira has shaken her hips to their songs. And Shakira’s hips don’t lie.

On a side-note, Stuckey & Murray recently delved into fashion with their invention of a one-piece tuxedo called The Fuxedo. You can check it out at www.thefuxedo.com. Yes, it’s a real thing:

Skiptracers: Southern-Fried Brains Make for Comic Take on Real Life in the South

Southern-fried brains and more populate “Skiptracers” – a Southern comedy feature film filled with hilarity and, sometimes redneck vulgarity, rock music, fugitives, sordid affairs, and pee wee football.

The fried brains here are not the kind you eat, but those of people we deal with in everyday life – and this film is full of characters you’ll recognize from the church pew to the jailhouse.

Cooked up by Alabama-born film makers Harris Mendheim and Andy Stuckey (best known as half of the NYC-based “Stuckey and Murray” musical comedy team), with writing help from their friend Brian Saliba, SKIPTRACERS embodies the underbelly of a South we all know but seldom see played out on screen.

Accompanied by a winning soundtrack featuring artists Langhorne Slim, The Defibulators, The Avett Brothers and others, the story revolves around the Trawick family. The Trawick’s are a family steeped in south Alabama tradition of bail-bonding and pee wee football, with sons J.D. and Tucker leading the pack, and overbearing father and coach, Big Donald at the helm, backed by the born-again Baptist and former bootlegging matriarch, Nanny.

Their nemeses include trailer-park crack-head Rusty, a fugitive from the law with a penchant for strip clubs and rock music, and their arch rival in both bail bonding and pee wee football, Cletus Yoates.

“Skiptracers” and the Trawick legacy make for a raucous good time at the movies resembling a coupling of “Dukes of Hazard” and the Coen Brothers’ quirky takes on rural life.

Here’s a trailer for the film:

“Skiptracers” has already received several accolades including the Rome International Film Festival’s Audience Award; Best Comedy, Best Actor in a Comedy (Andy Stuckey as Rusty McAndrews) from the Dixie Film Festival; and the Excellence in Feature Film making award at the Accolade Film Fest in La Jolla, CA.

Tennesseans have several chances to see “Skiptracers” from April 20th -26th at the following theaters:
THOROUGHBRED 20 – FRANKLIN, TN
NORTHGATE 14 – HIXSON, TN
WYNNSONG 16 – KNOXVILLE, TN
CARMIKE 14 – JOHNSON CITY, TN
