Mississippi Shakedown
If you don’t like DIRT you won’t like Mississippi Shakedown. We’re not talking about the kind of dirt you see hanging around a building, we’re talking about the dirt that comes from a guitar amplifier that’s been turned up WAY too loud for your grandmother. The kind of old distortion you’ don’t hear much of these days – no $29 guitar distortion pedal used here folks, it’s REAL distortion coming from an OLD Amplifier.
Clifford de Silva

Influenced by a wide variety of genres, including blues, folk, rock, pop, ambient, world, and psychedelic music, Clifford de Silva is a self-taught musician without convention. He incorporates an arsenal of acoustic instruments such as guitar, weissenborn, dobro, Appalachian dulcimer, banjo, and foot percussion in conjunction with ethereal electronic effects.
From swampy blues to heartfelt ballads and meandering instrumental soundscapes, Clifford’s mesmerizing improvisational skills always enthral while keeping his audience wondering what could possibly be coming next.
