AGMP Presents JANUARY BLUES FESTIVAL 2027 presents direct from Chicago, USA MUD MORGANFIELD a.k.a Muddy Waters Jr. + special guests: TBC + DJ: SNOWBOY The January Blues Festival celebrates it's 10th anniversary year with the welcome return of the eldest son of Blues legend Muddy Waters, Mud Morganfield. "Morganfield has his father's looks, his voice and his intensity... classic Chi-Town sounds of the 50s and early 60s at their very best." Blues in Britain "Irresistibly evokes the West Side sound" Soul Bag Mag (France) The eldest son of the immortal Muddy Waters, Mud has followed in his beloved dad's mammoth footsteps, staunchly keeping the traditional Chicago blues flame alight by faithfully singing Muddy's songs as well as plenty of his own originals in front of an all-star band of Chicago's heavy-hitters. Everything in Mud's musical life traces directly back to his father. "I was born in the blues, man. I used to have to tap music on the side of my head before I went to sleep. I've had music running through my being all my life, since I've been here." Mud didn't emerge musically until the 2000s when veteran blues chanteuse Mary Lane gave him some of his earliest showcases on the West Side. His debut album was released in 2008. A three-time Blues Music Award nominee, his 2014 Severn Records release in collaboration with harmonica ace Kim Wilson, 'For Pops-A Tribute to Muddy Waters,' earned him the coveted award. Host and DJ for the January Blues Festival is Snowboy playing original blues 45's and more.
