Mud Morganfield is the eldest son of legendary Blues icon Muddy Waters.

Mud entertained the idea of becoming a professional musician after Muddy’s death in 1983. Blues fans were introduced to Mud at a tribute concert to his father in 2007, but his performance at the Chicago Blues Festival that same year brought him instant recognition.

“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,” Mud says. He has appeared on 'Later...with Jools' and was featured in a TV documentary hosted by Hugh Laurie, with whom he has also appeared on stage in Chicago.
