NMC Presents: Mudmen

Get ready for a high-octane night of Celtic-rock swagger as Mudmen hit the stage at Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre. With thunderous bagpipes, driving guitars, and infectious energy, Mudmen promise to deliver an unforgettable live experience. Always entertaining and undeniably unique, Mudmen are a blast of Celtic-infused rock energy. Known as much for their on-stage performances as their off-stage charisma, the band was originally discovered as The Campbell Brothers before signing with EMI Records and rebranding as Mudmen in the late 1990s. SInce then, Mudmen have performed over 3,000 shows across 8 countries and released 11 studio albums. Their music has been featured in Xbox and PlayStation video games, NBC’s The Black Donnellys, HBO’s Shameless, multiple WWE events, and six of Don Cherry’s Rock'Em Sock'Em hockey videos. Their tracks have charted on radio, and six music videos reached airplay on MuchMusic and MTV, including a spot at number 19 on The Edge’s Top 20 Countdown. As of 2026, Mudmen are celebrating 28 years together. They continue to sell out prestigious venues such as Victoria Hall, the Stockey Centre, the Roxy Theatre, and the Grand Theatre, with regular appearances at major country, Celtic, and rock festivals across North America. The band’s message is simple: be kind, have fun, and do what you love. That joy translates to every audience they meet.
