Mud Morganfield
Multi-award-winning artist Mud Morganfield is the eldest son of blues great Muddy Waters. The timbre and tone in his buoyant baritone is eerily similar to his iconic father's, and he shares the same perfect blues phrasing. Morganfield is also a first-class bassist. A late bloomer, he didn't begin a professional career in his native Chicago until after his father died and he was nearly 30.

Bywater Call
Often transcending genres, Bywater Call is known for their dynamic, emotional live shows, featuring powerful vocals and exciting interplay between all band members.
A powerhouse seven-piece Southern soul, roots rock outfit from Toronto, Canada; the band is comprised of Meghan Parnell (vocals), Dave Barnes (guitar), Bruce McCarthy (drums), Mike Meusel (bass), newest member, John Kervin (keys), Stephen Dyte (trumpet) and Julian Nalli (tenor sax).
In 2024, Bywater Call was UK Blues Award nominated for International Blues Artist of the year alongside winners Larkin Poe, after having toured extensively in Europe. This year, the band has been short-listed into the top 20 for the same award among many notables in the genre including Larkin Poe, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Beth Hart, Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram, Samantha Fish, Bobby Rush and other notables in the genre.
The band’s music is an exploration of life’s highs and lows. From intimate ballads that lay bare the complexities of human emotion to electrifying anthems that demand to be played at full volume, their catalogue is a journey through the human experience, incorporating influences from the likes of The Band, The Wood Brothers, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Otis Redding, Little Feat, Sly and the Family Stone, among others.
