Feb 16: “Perseverance, And Yet They Persisted”

The musical duo of “Lucky Mud” is back this Sunday to share their time and talents with us. Always a favorite and always on point, join us for this festive service.

Seven years in the early days of the 1970’s Nashville transition to pop country, taught Mike & Maggie McKinney what they did not want. The heart of music should not be lost in the business of music. The music that Lucky Mud writes/sings/plays comes from the dirt of their native Florida. Mix that with a little saltwater, sweat and tears and you have Mud, Lucky Mud. Lucky Mud plays SwampyTonk and Folkabilly. They have produced numerous concerts in various venues including The Martin Theatre’s green room for WKGC’s Emerald Coast Radio Live, Roberts Hall for “Americana Cafe Sundays” and Camp Helen State Park’s “Americana Music in the Lodge” among them. They currently have 17 CD’s of original music and 90 thirty minute radio shows archived on luckymudmusic.com as “Americana Cafe Sundays Radio Show”. They have toured the world sharing their Florida SwampyTonk and Folkabilly roots in places such as Ireland, England, Canada and Texas… yes, even Texas.

They are fixtures in the Florida Folk scene at prestigious festivals such as The Will McLean Festival and Florida Folk Festival and annual participants in The Montana Cowboy Poetry and Western Music Gathering in Lewistown, Montana and The Gram Parsons Guitar Pull in Waycross, Georgia. Oh, did I mention that Mike McKinney is an author of 5 novels set in Florida with a coveted starred review by Publishers Weekly and rave reviews from Kirkus and many newspapers across the country? Multi talented and avid tale tellers, Lucky Mud is the Luckiest Mud ever! Come listen as they share their stories!
