For over 25 years, the acclaimed rock and roll band The Vulgar Boatmen have been performing to audiences, amassing a long (and decidedly goofy) history while creating some fantastic music. 

This is their story. 

"When the planets are properly aligned, the Vulgar Boatmen are the best band to ever play rock and roll music." - the Gentle Readers

"The Vulgar Boatmen are as American as an Andrew Wyeth painting and as evocative as a Robert Frost poem." - Ira Robbins, Trouser Press Record Guide
