Ambitious Tugboat

Ambitious Tugboat is the songs and performances of Pancho the Kid, Pelvis McGillicuddy, Sam Potrykus, and their friends. At times earnest, at times playful, and always a hoot -- the band's sound is still evolving -- with Pancho and Pelvis offering up an endless stream of unforgettable folk tunes, tied together by Sam's psych-rendered bass lines and sweet harmonies -- and a rotating cast of characters who come aboard to add touches of blues, garage, soul, doo-wop, and ambient noise, etc.
