Henry Hardt's Mudcats

Henry Hardt’s Mudcats are Jeff Liverman, Jeremia Dwier, Barb Gillespie, Ray Braley and Will Norton. The band sings and plays Piedmont and old time street blues, reveling in music penned earlier in the 20th century, from Charlie Pool to Muddy Water to Robert Johnson and the Mississippi Sheiks. The Mudcat’s specialize in illuminating the influence that old style street music including blues and jug band sounds had on modern Rock and Roll. They play songs made popular by such artists as Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Nirvanas and Eric Clapton but they play in the style of the original recordings from the 1920s and 30s. Henry Hardt’s Mudcats are a fun, danceable look back at some of the most influential music of the last three generations.
