The Bargain
Formed in 2019, The Bargain is comprised of Frank Critelli on vocals, Muddy Rivers on guitar and harmony vocals, and Shandy
Lawson on mandolin. Drawing on a range of influences from The Band, to Metallica, to Goethe, the three come together in a fusion of
guitar-driven acoustic pop pieces and soaring ballads, bolstered by vocal harmonies and mandolin.
The Bargain's first CD, a collection titled Hindsight: 2020 was released in February of 2021 to critical success, and was followed by the
studio album '22 in November of the following year, earning spots on two of Connecticut's year-end "Best Of" lists.
The band performs regularly throughout New England, with occasional journeys south along the east coast, performing both in their
original acoustic trio configuration as well as an acoustic and electric five-piece, backed by Jim Stavris on drums and Bobo Lavorgna
on bass.
“Frank Critelli, Shandy Lawson, and Muddy Rivers were already a ridiculously amazing combo, but when you allow them to get into
the studio and spread their wings like eagles over their prey it’s downright deadly.” - Chip McCabe
— Top Connecticut Albums of 2022
