2025 MudBottom Revival Music Festival

Dog River Clearwater Revival (DRCR) is set to host the 10th Annual MudBottom Revival Music Festival, an afternoon of live music dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Dog River improvement projects.

The event will take place on Sunday, May 4th, at the end of Riviere Du Chien Road (Bender Point – 3619 Riviere Du Chien Road) from 1 PM to 6 PM, with general admission gates opening at 12:30 PM.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary, this year’s festival will feature an expanded three-band lineup, headlined by Jimmy Hall & Friends, alongside performances by Will Kimbrough & Friends and Red & the Revelers.

• Jimmy Hall gained recognition as the lead vocalist, saxophonist, and harmonica player for the Mobile-based band Wet Willie. His blend of R&B-infused rock and roll and dynamic stage presence promises an exciting performance.
• Will Kimbrough, a versatile musician and Mobile local, has released nine albums and is a MudBottom favorite. Having performed at the festival numerous times, his return is highly anticipated.
• Red & the Revelers, led by Red Padilla, deliver a high-energy swamp soul experience, complete with a full horn section that brings an electrifying presence to the stage.

Attendees of this family-friendly fundraising event are encouraged to bring coolers, picnic blankets, and chairs to enjoy live music beneath the oak-shaded banks of Dog River. Please note that tents, sun umbrellas, and pets are not permitted. Children 12 and under can attend for free, and food and MudBottom merchandise will be available for purchase.

Tickets purchased before May 4th allow attendees to arrive by vehicle, bike, kayak, canoe, stand-up paddleboard, or boat. Boat taxis will transport ticket holders from anchored spots to the dock. Restroom facilities will be available on-site.

Carpooling is encouraged due to limited parking. Guests arriving by vehicle will be shuttled to the festival grounds via golf cart, so packing lightly is recommended.
