Lucky Mud: Home
Maggie and Mike McKinney, Lucky Mud, will be hosting an hour long radio show with a live audience. We begin recording at The Martin Theater in downtown Panama City on Sunday July 12th. We have booked some of the best musicians/songwriters in the country (who are all luckily located in the southeast). Please join us as our "live" audience each Sunday as we present some of the finest original music we've ever been privileged to be a part of. The show will be broadcast each Saturday on WKGC 90.7 fm (streamed worldwide simultaneously at wkgc.org) as Emerald Coast Studio live from The Martin Theater. Guests include Grant Peeples, Jubal's Kin, Mimi & The Hearndogs, Hwy 19, Doug Spears and Mike Jurgensen to name a few. The radio show will be recorded each Sunday from 3-7p, and will air on the internet each following Saturday, beginning July 18, at 5pm CST. We hope you listen in. Be a part of the show.
Lucky Mud is "Magic". We're the luckiest of "Mud" because we get to play with wonderful people in magical places. People full of music, people full of joy, people full of laughter and life.
Always looking to travel to new "Magical Places" and share our "Mud Magic". To book us go to contacts on the Home Page.
We are currently working on a brand new CD of original Florida songs titled Ti-Ti Road. (Ti-Ti, or Tye-Tye, is the first sweet wildflower of Spring here in the Florida Panhandle. We live less than 20 miles from where Will McLean was born and raised, so I'm sure he was familiar with the blossoms. The honey men along the wild rivers in this part of the state make their first batches of honey out of Ti-Ti, long before the Tupelo is ready). It's the part of Florida that is still dominated by swamp and forest, where towns are 100 miles apart. Go to maggiesfarm.us for a few photos of our old Florida home....a Cracker homestead built in the mid- to late 1800's.

(Maggie and Mike McKinney (Lucky Mud), both from two of the oldest Pioneer Florida families, started this year with not only a brand new CD, but a return performance at both the Will McLean Festival and the 2009 Florida Folk Festival as well!
The latest CD is titled Ride the Pony (tell the story), and ever-so-slowly Maggie's Farm (our home grown music festival) is taking shape!
Maggie's Farm is a place for music, a place for progressive voices in a green environment and it's our home. We're inviting music lovers and progressive thinkers to join us at Maggie's Farm where the beautiful Econfina Creek flows nearby. Where Oak and Pecan trees reach to the heavens and the stars are as bright as hope in a child's eyes. Check out the poster in our photo section. Contact us at maggie@luckymudmusic.com for more details.
Our new Southern Zen Studio at Maggie's Farm is up and running, too!)
Maggie and Mike McKinney have been touring as Lucky Mud for many years - from Key West, Florida, to a working man's pub in Newcastle, England; from a sold-out show in the Linenhall Arts Centre in Castlebar, Ireland, to pubs from Sligo to Galway; from the Forge in Bandera, Texas, to the island of Sark, off the coast of France, and the main stages of both The Florida Folk Festival & The Will McLean Folk Festival.
Maggie and Mike have been performing their original songs around the world. These songs fill their CDs and range from Americana to folk blues to Florida swamp roots music.
The creativity doesn't end with the music. Mike's novel, A Thousand Bridges, (Walker Books, NYC) received a coveted starred review in Publishers Weekly and was later chosen as one of the Top Ten First Fiction of the year. He has two new novels with his agent.
Mud loves hearing from you, by the way. They've been getting responses from Texas to Russia, and would love for each of you to leave a message on their e-mail. Thanks, too, to the radio stations for playing Lucky Mud's music. The band has a sampler that they'll send out to any interested station free of charge. Remember, Lucky Mud has been known to go around the world for airfare and a good hotel room.
Thanks again for listening.
Love, Lucky Mud
