Whitey Markle and the Swamprooters 

Whitey Markle has been a fixture on the Florida music scene for decades. He has been performing and writing songs. His style of music, known as "Swampgrass", is a mixture of bluegrass, folk and country with a taste of old fashioned Florida "Cracker" thrown in for good measure. Whitey Markle and the Swamprooters (as his band is affectionately called) have released two CD's, Cracker Blue and Hog Wild. Whitey has also written a book about his experiences in Florida called Whitey Markle's Recipes with Tales and Tunes.
