For 40 years (and counting) Mud Bay has been electrifying audiences with their high-intensity brand of original Roots & Blues music. Weathering more than a few storms along the way, they have been hailed as true Soul Survivors--“The Band That Won't Go Away”--much to the delight of their legions of fans worldwide. 
The five-piece band features four songwriters, three of whom are lead vocalists. Underlying this diversity is a remarkable consistency, the result of a shared vision refined over many years; distinct as the individual contributions may be, it all comes out sounding like Mud Bay. 
The band features strong vocals and rhythmic elements reflecting a wide range of influences—classic Chicago Blues, Country, Cajun, Rock, Soul—all finding common ground inside well-crafted, inventive songs. Unconventional and uncompromising, Mud Bay has always taken the road less traveled, favouring innovation over imitation and their dedication to expanding and enriching the Roots idiom they cherish has never wavered. And with four decades of dues paid, they have earned respect and praise from such music legends as James Cotton (“Just like playing with family”) and the late great Stevie Ray Vaughn (“Mud Bay..?... More fun!”)
Mud Bay's fourth album, Colebrook Road, received national airplay on CBC’s Saturday Night Blues and Stingray Music, as well as on CFRO, CITR and LG104 and Roundhouse Radio locally, on internet radio in Europe, Canada and the US, and on community and university radio across Canada. In 2018, Mud Bay celebrated 40 years of music making with their 5th independent release “Mud Bay - Live at Lorenzo’s.”
Mud Bay delivers the goods. Always have, always will.

This is a collection of home demos of (mostly) my songs that I have made over the years, including some collaborations with Derek Evans. Oh, and there's a couple of demos from Sacred Blue Walrus, a band from my past slipping further out of sight by the day.  Hope you enjoy.
