SpudMother emerged out of Pocatello’s open mic scene in 2021 with a genreblending sound that fuses funk, rock, disco, reggae, and a touch of metal. Influenced by legends like The Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, SpudMother doesn’t just pay homage—they twist those inspirations into something unexpected. After one show, a fan summed it up perfectly: “I never knew hippie music could be so damn heavy.” That’s the SpudMother vibe—groovy, gritty, and full of surprises. Their debut album Electri-fried set the tone in 2023. Since then, the band’s lineup has evolved, and with it, their sound. With eyes on the future, SpudMother is working their next live studio album for release in spring 2026—leaner, meaner, and dancier. You’ve never heard jam-rock quite like this.
