Mountain Walrus serves up their unique brand of southern funk from the mountains of Southwest Virginia. Led by Foster Burton’s soulful songwriting, Mountain Walrus draws on elements of New Orleans funk and southern rock to create a sound that’s right at home in Appalachia.
The band is quickly growing a fanbase around the Southeast, thanks to their dynamic live shows and appearances at festivals like FloydFest, Rooster Walk, Mountain Music Festival, and Floyd Yoga Jam.
Burton is backed by Mason Jennelle on drums, Ben Hite on keys, Ryan Ratliff on saxophone, and multi-instrumentalist Brach Rauchle.
