The Flaming Mudcats are a band that swings, shuffles and gets low-down in their devotion to the sounds of the Blues, R&B and Rock ‘n’ Roll and anyone who argues that good blues is getting hard to find has never heard of this band… chances are you couldn’t find a tighter good time band.

This four piece band swings, playing great grooves fused with burning harp and smoking guitar; this is no-frills party music.

A firm favourite in Auckland’s Blues scene, this band is well versed on what it takes to please a crowd exhibiting levels of professionalism and musicianship that makes it easy to become a dedicated fan.

It’s plain to see right away that these guys love the music they make together.

Not surprisingly, their loyal fan base continues to grow every month as a result.

The Flaming Mudcats are:

Craig Bracken (vocals, harmonica)
Doug Bygrave (guitar)
Sean McCarthy (bass)
Ian Thomson (drums)
