The men of New Haven, CT’s Eggy are making sure their jams are squeaky clean ahead of their performance at Twiddle‘s Tumble Down festival, set to take place on Friday, July 27th and Saturday, July 28th on the shores of Lake Champlain at Burlington, VT’s Waterfront Park.
Today, the four-piece shared a new video clip titled “The Tumbledown Boogie”, a saloon-style theme song for the upcoming festival. In it, the band’s members—bassist Mike Goodman, guitarist Jake Brownstein, drummer Alex Bailey, and keyboardist Dani Battat—rinse off in their respective showers as they croon the catchy tune’s lyrics, thrown together at the tail end of a rehearsal earlier this week. Watch Eggy’s “Tumbledown Boogie” below:

Notes Jake Brownstein, “As a band, we couldn’t be happier to be playing Tumble Down this year. It’s an honor to be able to share our music in such a beautiful environment amongst some of our musical heroes and friends.” He continues, explaining the “classic Eggy thought process” that produced the idea for the video:
Egg 1: “Oh we can’t film this together?”
Egg 2: “It’s okay, we’ll just do selfie videos outside!”
Egg 3: “Yeah, but we’d all have to do it at the same time of day so the sky looks the same”
Egg 4: “You’re right… let’s just film it in the shower then!”

While their hygiene skills are clearly on point, Eggy does their best work onstage, where their highly trained musicianship, thoughtful songwriting, four-part harmonies, and seasoned group improvisational abilities are on full display. “It was a ton of fun making this video,” says Brownstein, “but if you think you’ve seen it all, well, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”
Don’t miss Eggy when they take the stage at Tumble Down on Friday, July 27th. Grab your tickets here. In addition to their recently announced summer tour dates, Eggy is preparing a very special tribute to Little Feat with help from members of Deep Banana Blackout and Legion of Jerry set for Friday, August 10th, at The Acoustic in Bridgeport, CT. As Brownstein explains, “We’ve been having a blast diving into their catalog so you can definitely expect to hear some tunes of theirs, as well as some music from our upcoming album due to be released later this year.”
