Mischief Brew was an anarchist folk-punk band. A wicked concoction by Erik Petersen – a musical feast falling somewhere between the categories of pirate punk, Celtic folk, gypsy swing, devilish jazz, American olde-tyme and country. It’s good music to stomp, kick, pogo, jitterbug, waltz, drink, twist and shout to – whether the performance is solo acoustic or with a backing band of accordion, drums, and mandolin.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

GC Come see pioneers starving on trout Em Meet the drunkards of spirit, DG of soil, of stout G But old silent fires C shall someday bathe all EmD A cider ferments in us all
Final call! G Hear the prophets C whose days have gone dim Em And for all royal silver, DG she still won’t wed him G Hear the bastards, C yes among us, they go Em All flaunting freedoms DG so scarcely known
GCEmD GDGC How I see, merrily, GDC The unmasking of liberty GDGC As she bows to misery, G But her open hands, CEmD The joy and dance G And this pattern C across our great quilt, EmD for ages to span
GC You’re a traveller packing for years EmDG Armour of rage in a shower of tears G And you never could see C that you were wild and loose Em ‘Til a baby blue soldier D forbid you to choose G Now you cry, “Off with these systems C And off with these laws! Em Bring on the seasons, D tradition, and song! G The patterns and cycles! C We, hitchers of stars, Em shall reel in adventure D To shatter these boards GCEmD To march from these wars
