The Mighty Muskrats was formed in 2020 as the latest incarnation of Ian Harding’s long and winding musical journey. Born out of lockdown and the need to create during a time when the world came to a standstill, the band began as a remote recording project – a way to stay sane, stay connected, and keep the music alive.

What started in isolation grew into something real: original songs, studio sessions, and eventually, live performances. With deep roots in Americana, rockabilly, and raw, rootsy rock & roll, The Mighty Muskrats carry the spirit of Ian’s earlier bands but with a sound that’s entirely their own.

The Muskrats may have started behind closed doors, but the music’s always been wide open.
