A show for anyone who like blues, rhythm and blues, and classic rock, and original music. The band is looking forward to doing an afternoon concert selection from their repertoire.
Known for their rip-roaring rhythm and blues, The Flaming Mudcats have established themselves over the past 17 years as one of New Zealand's best live R&B bands.
Their live shows combine a wide variety of style and genres with an R&B flavour. A mix of high-energy original songs and timeless blues classics creates fun, highly entertaining, and danceable shows.
The Flaming Mudcats never stand still, with five digital albums and a vinyl LP to their credit, and a new album due in early 2027.
Vocalist and songwriter Craig Bracken not only fronts the band; he is a top blues and chromatic harmonica talent who doubles on saxophone. He is supported by the experienced pair, songwriter Pete Parnham on bass and Steve Cournane on drums who together set up the catchy grooves. Meanwhile, guitarist Doug Bygrave adds unique colour and flair in the tradition of the great blues influenced guitarists. For concert shows the band is joined by New Zealand music identity, keyboardist Liam Ryan.
