Walter formed Swamp Cabbage in 2001 as a means of exploring his southern musical influences and sharing his interpretations of them. Walter's electric guitar style is a mélange of Scott Joplin's ragtime and Jerry Reed's bayou pickin. Matt Lindsey's bass barks like a tuba through a fuzz box and Jagoda drums like he's leadin' a New Orleans funeral parade. Lyrically, Swamp Cabbage offers a comedic travelogue through Walter's North Florida upbringing.

The group has recorded two CDs – the self released debut "Honk" in 2006 and "Squeal" released in 2008 on the ZOHO Roots label. Because of Walter's busy schedule with Richie Havens the group rarely tours outside their current base in the New York City area. That said, they guarantee you'll experience honest musicality and good laughs if you ever get a chance to catch a show.
