The Flatted Fifth in Bellevue, IA is one of our favorite joints to play. They have great food, tasty drinks, and attentive staff. We’ll be playing on 10/26. The music starts at 8, but get there early for a good table.

Rave Reviews!

We've been getting fantastic comments about our shows.

Chris Kalmbach, the owner of the Knuckle Down Saloon, recently wrote: "The next big thing in Blues coming out of the Capital City!! Always a HUGE CROWD and always a great show!!...It is a very rare thing, and more rare as the years go by, to have a new Blues Band come on the scene with such energy, purpose and talent. I haven't seen such a thing in many, many years. All of these guys have have very involved lives outside the band, but still throw everything they've got into every show. These days we always seem to be looking for new champions to take up the torch for our precious brand of music. These guys wear that mantle like it was made for them. Madison's Blues scene owes these guys a debt of gratitude. Please support them wherever they play."

Music Review Roulette (Radio Program out of Milwaukee):
"Immediately toe-tapping and makes you want to get up out of your chair... You guys are keeping the blues tradition alive and taking those influences and making it your own."

Max Ink Magazine:
"Borrowing their name from a Muddy Waters’ song title, this local ensemble has become favorites across generations through a busy performance schedule, solid musicianship, and a variety of material with origins in the Blues of the 1960’s and early 1970’s."

Blues Matters Magazine (Review of our "Live at the Knuckle Down Saloon" album):
"Love Her With A Feeling is possibly my favorite on the album. Guitar and vocals are stunning. But the whole band are on fire to make this a really good version of an absolute classic. To finish the set, they go with Hound Dog. But surprisingly and very much appreciated by this reviewer they opt for the Big Mama Thronton version. This is how this song should be done. It's as simple as that. Can't wait for another album..."

Max Ink Magazine:
"One of the most exciting blues acts in the Midwest, The Madtown Mannish Boys have spent the last few years building a formidable reputation around their highly-energetic and entertaining live shows."
