Latest News
Cottonmouth has began jamming with Darren Gruen's son Issac on drums and are planning our first live performance in several years at Framily Fest on July 26th and 27th. Alex Honke continues to work in the studio with Bash. They have been learning video editing and using virtual instruments to create new songs. Dennis Laird aka "Bash" co hosts a radio show on 94.3FM in Alton, Illinois. Find video versions of the show under the 94.3fm Riverbend Talent tab. The show supports local live performances in our area known as the "Riverbend." Check out some of the live videos of our local music scene currently under the "Video from local festivals" tab or on our Youtube channel. Break ins at our studio when we advertise a show have made it difficult for the band to play live.
