Terry Oates and the Mudcats are a high energy show band based on traditional blues influences with a modern flair. We draw inspiration from the original greats such as BB King, Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, and many others in our original material while trying to pay homage to these icons of the blues by playing some of their greatest performances in the way they were originally recorded. The concept of our original material has been inspired by discussions on the theory of the blues, concept of recording in the early days, instruments used, and the artist themselves!
Terry Oates and the Mudcats combination of guitar, bass, drums, horns, vocals, and backing vocals give them the ability to cover many styles of the blues and music inspired by the blues.
Terry Oates and the Mudcats are new to the scene as a group but their cumulative experience spans decades.
