Tad Robinson - Muddy's Open Air 2026

Tad Robinson (USA) brings one of the leading voices in modern soul-blues to the Summertime Open Air stage of Muddys Club, backed by a top-flight band complete with a horn section.

The New York soul singer has a rare gift for blending Southern soul from Memphis with raw Chicago blues, and his legendary harmonica playing - rooted in the tradition of Junior Wells and James Cotton - has taken that sound to club and festival stages around the world. The result is a gripping, deeply felt mix of "soul-ified blues and pop songs".

"Robinson sings with a range and a suppleness that are exquisitely evocative." - Mojo Magazine

"Robinson sits at the top of the list of the most beautiful living soul-blues singers. His upward-bound voice is of genuinely handsome quality and he uses it with confidence." - Frank-John Hadley, DOWNBEAT

"Robinson's lyrics stand for the soul, and his old-school balladry is beautiful and lush... A joy for the soul, plucked from the airwaves of past decades." - Living Blues Magazine

Opening the evening will be the Muddys Club All Stars - as every year, a fresh lineup of musicians who have been part of the Muddys Club family for decades.
