Canadian Celtic Rock with Bagpipe-Fuelled Energy
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.
Established in 1998, Mudmen have performed thousands of shows across Canada and abroad, building a reputation as one of the country’s most energetic Celtic rock acts. Their sound blends bagpipes, guitars, big choruses, and a live-show attitude that connects with rock, Celtic, country, sports, and festival audiences.
Mudmen’s music has appeared across television, sports, video games, and major media moments, including CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada, WWE, HBO’s Shameless, Don Cherry’s Rock’em Sock’em videos, and live sporting events.
The band has performed at Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill, appeared on national broadcasts, toured internationally, and played major festivals, Highland games, corporate events, and sports celebrations. Their long-running career continues to be driven by a simple message: be kind, have fun, and do what you love.
