About Me

Check out these videos of Mudcat performing live!!
Mudcat Live
"Mudcat is a dynamic quartet playing a very eclectic style of music based on the Georgia blues, with a stage presence that radiates the sheer joy they find in performing. Delta blues, jazz, Dixieland, Cajun, ragtime and country all go to make up the unique sound that these fiercely independent young men bring."
- Blues to Bop (Lugano, Switzerland)
"Deep swamp, rockin’ and rollin’, bad to the bone blues … Mudcat and his rompin’ troupe of Atlantans can knock ya down with their Georgia blend of rural blues, country tones, and Appalachian sounds. The mix is a contemporary one though, wielding tradition, innovation, and plain fun-making music. Mudcat also throws down some awesome electric action. … kicks up a clever batch of blues guaranteed to make you feel good."
- Mark A. Cole in Big City Blues (Chicago, IL)
"Authentically-soulful, emotionally-charged vocals given an extra kick by Mudcat’s searing slide guitar. Covers are rendered respectfully, but with a dignified exuberance that’s inspiring. Mudcat infuses everything with an earthy grit that’s truly authentic, carefully avoiding the calculated similarity that plagues many blues releases."
- Hal Horowitz in INsite (Atlanta, GA)
"A Mudcat show is an event you have to experience live to get the full effect. Theirs is a show full of theatre and drama, with their emphasis on old timey, down home blues and folk blues bring a sense of history as well as a sense of dynamics. Mudcat is a jumping, jiving, knee-slapping, funky, soulful, swampy rhythm machine. With a touch of Vaudeville or a side-street minstrel show, Mudcat never fails to leave even the most skeptical among us fraught with pure joy. This is a fun band, and you can’t help getting caught up in their performance."
- Gary House in Golden Isles Weekly (St. Simon’s Island, GA)
