MUD MORGANFIELD was born to Blues Legend McKinley Morganfield (Muddy Waters) and Mildred Williams in Chicago. He was raised by his mother and 7 uncles.

Despite growing up surrounded by music, Morganfield did not consider becoming a professional musician until after his father's death in 1983.
Morganfield says, "I started to sing to show the world that dad left me here. I love and am proud to sing his songs just like I love and will always be proud of him. I'm not Muddy Waters, I certainly not trying to be Muddy Waters. I'm Mud Morganfield, but when I'm up on stage I always feel Pops is there with me and it means so much that I can get on stage and keep his music alive around the world.”

Fast forward to present, Mud Morganfield is a Multi-Award-Winning-Artist who tours the world astounding fans with his timbre and tone in his buoyant baritone which is eerily similar to his iconic father's. Mud’s stage presence is something you just have to wittness. Seeing, hearing Mud on stage, you know you are in the presence of greatness!

DO NOT MISS THE CHANCE to see Mud Morganfield Headline our Canal Wi******er Blues and Ribfest July 24th 9:30-11 in Historic Canal Wi******er ! FREE ADMISSION 🎶🎵🎸💥💥🎶😎💙🆓🆓🆓
