From jambase.com :

Funky Blue Muskrats formed in spring 2005. Frank Barton (guitar) and his brother Dallas Barton (drums) collaborated with Doctor Mike Vertino (bass) for a series of jam sessions in Auburn, New York. The group put together a setlist of blues covers and original instrumentals and debuted live outside at Central Park in Fair Haven, New York on June 29, 2005. The band played two more live shows in 2005, both at Market Street Pavilion in Auburn, an outdoor venue where the band would play a total of 7 live shows between 2005 and September 2007. Video footage of the band playing live in concert and in rehearsal space would become a regular fixture on Auburn's public access television channel. The increased visibility lead to a fuller roster of gigs in 2006 and introduced the Muskrats' audience to Chad Geelan (drums). Highlights from 2006 included shows at Syracuse's Dinosaur BBQ, Fair Haven's Fourth of July Field Days and the Little Sodus Inn, Hoopes Park in Auburn as part of the city's summer concert series, and a show outside in the cold at Market Street one week before the season's first snowfall (10.10.2006).

2007 started with shows at the Witches Brew Cafe' in January and April. The Muskrats also played The Roadhouse (4.17.07) and Market Street (4.24.07) in April. Summer '07 inlcuded a total of 10 shows from the Funky Blue in Syracuse, Auburn, and Skaneateles with Josh Ouimette (bass) and Josh Haines (drums) filling in at several gigs, including a memorable outdoor afternoon set at Auburn's Booker T. Washington Center's Field Days. The Barton/Geelan/Vertino lineup played back to back shows in Auburn and Syracuse (Sept. 6 & 7) and the Barton/Haines/Ouimette lineup closed out 2007 at TomatoFest in Auburn on September 8. Barton left for Alaska days later.

In 2008, Barton played two live sets at the 50th annual Kodiak Crab Festival

UPDATE (2010):

Funky Blue Muskrats played 5 shows in 2010. Performances in Pulaski, Marcellus, Jordan, and Seneca Falls, New York marked the first FBM performances there. Zak Masoud (bass) played and recorded with the band in 2010.
