Muddy Ruckus is a duo of darkly inventive americana rock. Guitarist Ryan Flaherty and percussionist Erika Stahl, of Portland, Maine, play a grungy style of railroad indie punk blues and brimstone folk. The band blends rootsy guitar and edgy percussion on a suitcase drum kit, and is known for a full rock band sound, despite their duo status. They season their music with ‘in-your-face’ lyrics salted by the eastern old ports and mud of the Mississippi River where Flaherty grew up.
Muddy Ruckus was awarded “Best in State of Maine 2015” by the New England Music Awards. Their second album, Pretty Bones, was awarded 2106 “Album of the Year” by Red Line Roots. The band was also awarded 2017 “Rock N’ Roller’s of the Year” by RLR.

Founding father and master inventor Benjamin Franklin was also a pioneer of self-improvement. In 1727 Franklin formed the Junto, a weekly mutual-improvement club made up of a group of his peers and fellow Philadelphia tradesmen to discuss 13 core virtues and explore how to better incorporate them in their lives – and use them as a foundation for enriching the world. The club became the launching pad for all sorts of civic initiatives: the public library, the post office and the volunteer fire department, which have had a lasting impact on society.
Join us while we gather to discuss the 13 virtues in the context of the present day. We’ll meet weekly for 13 weeks and commit to making better and more conscious choices about our own behavior and work with others to spread those virtues through acts of kindness and good deeds. There is no cost and it is open to all!
