about

For your enjoyment, we bring you a taste of Northwest Washington’s bounty. Recorded between Dec 2013 and April 2014, “Sky Valley High” is a time capsule of the Mudflat Walkers sound and flavor. Accompanied by many friends and musicians, these country folk bring you a journey through the high mountain river valleys down to the silty fertile mouths where these rushing waters greet the sea.

Thank you
There are so many to thank and give gratitude to that have aided us with their presence in our lives and at our shows over the past 3 years of us being a band- truly this album wouldn’t have been made if it wasn’t for you giving us reason to share the music we love. This project has been entirely funded by us raising money playing shows between July 2013 and August 2014. The collection of songs that you’re experiencing now are our way of celebrating all that hard work and joyful experience that comes along with the heart warming and soul cleansing act of performing music for our community!

Firstly we all want to thank our families who are the core of our fan base, support system and inspiration. Nextly I (Matney) want to name some specific people whose encouragement has kept me moving forward as a writer and performer despite the given challenges: Daphne Jones, Jessie Tierney, Stone Jones, Sarah Philips, Greg Dotson, Jan Peters, Rachael Gatti, Shawnee Kilgore, Chuck Dingee, Misty Flowers, Lane Fernando, Eric Stopke, Sydney Lee, Meagan Spitler, Marc Oomen, Dorothy Downes, Shailer Tuell, Leigh Shambo, Charmaine Lane, Rachel Benbrook, Mikey Eldred, Douglas Stranger, Amanda Triggs, Drezbex, Jason Brown, Keith Chaplin, Robyn Turner, Jodie Buller, Kit Nelson, Cara Alboucq, Cheryl Walsh, Val Rowe, Peter Ali, Strangely Doesburg, Holly Christianson, Felix Sonnyboy, Gillian Alexander, Shivani Fox, Shannon Laws, Jess Knowlton, Rebecca Lobb, Eddy Blau, Brady Miller, Eric Muller, Liz Findley, John Meier…there are many, many more who have given a hug, a word of encouragement, some thoughtful feedback or a smile that kept me keeping on and I want you to know what a powerful effect your influence has had not just on me as a musician but as a sentient being! I love you!

And last but certainly not least, we want to extend gratitude to the individuals who shared their time, talents and efforts to make this album come to fruition: the musicians, the recording studio, the artist. Your heartfelt participation enabled our project to shine beyond our hopes and wishes!

about

Mudflat Walkers Mount Vernon, Washington

Mudflat Walkers are Matney Cook, Kevin Olney, and Jeff Lacy. From country roots, their sound reflects the barriers of the Cascade Mountains and shimmers off of the waters of the Puget Sound, wrapped in a Nashville-style twist. They released the Feels Like Home EP in 2013, and their debut full-length Sky Valley High in 2014. Both records saw a re-release in 2020 on OGS Records. ... more
