The Entertainment
Mudfork Blues is Chicago Electric Style Blues at its best. If you like mesmerizing vocals, riffy guitar work, lighting keys, solid bass foundations, kickin' bass drum and happy harps, Mudfork Blues is a show not to miss. The quintessential blues band, Mudfork Blues has shared the stage with the likes of Joe Bonamassa,
Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials, Johnny Rawls, and Tommy Castro to name a few.
Check out photos from last year!
Mudfork Blues originated on Mudfork Creek in Meigs County, OH and they've since grown into one of Ohio's finest blues ensembles. With a long list of original numbers as well as many of your favorites from the likes of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Koko Taylor and others, Mudfork Blues has something for even the most discerning blues critic.
The Royales formed in 1995 as a low-key jaunt through soul standards but soon collided with heinous amplitude and a hard-driving townie motif. They're now celebrating twelve years of high-energy R&B, rock and funk that's best enjoyed from a dancing position. Of, by and for Athens, The Royales were named 'Best Local Band' in the 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 Athens NEWS readers' polls.
