what's a Howlin' mudbellie?


Old-school Delta, Piedmont, and Chicago Blues from blues greats like Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and Leadbelly.  Dan Dunlap on vocals, guitar, and dobro and Greg Bump on bass are active members of Electric Woodshed, and have performed with numerous bands in the New River Valley over the years including The Kind, 3 Minute Lovin’ and more.  Pete Hastings on harmonica and Joey Ballard on drums for a little more raucous stage.  Mudbellies members have shared the stage with blue legends like Bo Diddley, Bob Margolin, John Hammond, and the Nighthawks.  "The Muds" bundle up and embody these experiences in classic old-school blues and beyond.
