Always entertaining and definitely unique, The Mudmen are a blast of Celtic energy whose members are known to be characters both
on and off stage. First discovered in 1998 as "The Campbell Brothers"
the band signed a deal with EMI Records and changed their name to the
Mudmen in the year 2000. Their music has been featured on XBox and
Playstation games, NBC's television show "Black Donnellys", WWE
Wrestling, Don Cherry's hockey videos, six music videos on Much Music
and they reached #19 on the Edge radio.
In 2004 however Mudmen
were dropped from their label, booking agency and parted way's with
management. The band continued to tour however and never gave up.
Then in 2008 the Campbell Brothers were asked to perform on the new
"Hockey Night in Canada" theme song where Ron McLean quoted "Mudmen we
love em." This lead to many opportunities including a 3 month tour with
Johnny Reid, his PBS special and the Canadian Country Music awards with
Johnny.
The Mudmen have since appeared on Parliament Hill for
Canada Day where they shook hands with the Queen televised, are
currently on the new Hockey Night in Canada theme song, the 2009
Edmonton Oilers Home opener and much more.
