Welcome to Mudcat blues!
Southern American music Master
Mudcat (Danny “Mudcat” Dudeck) is an acclaimed American music guitarist, singer, and songwriter who has been a cornerstone of the Atlanta blues music scene for more than thirty years.
Mudcat built his reputation using a fiery slide guitar, gritty vocals, and captivating stage presence. He can be found at small bars like Northside Tavern to major festivals across the U.S. and Europe.
Mudcat embodies the authenticity that defines real American music and with his band, The Redeemers, they are ready to continue pushing the limits of live shows!
The self-taught musician honed his craft busking on street corners and ferries from New York to New Orleans, and has gone on to tour Europe and play with greats like Dickey Betts, Taj Mahal and Derek Trucks.
But perhaps his greatest influence as an Atlanta institution is his role as an ambassador for bridging the contemporary blues scene with the legacy of its forebears.– Suzanne Van Atten for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
