We’re back from Memphis, beaten but unbowed, uncrowned but unrepentant! The International Blues Challenge was a blast. I hope to have coverage of it to share here on hellbusters.net (a lot of the fun never made it onto our facebook pages) soon. Meanwhile, here’s a picture of us back at it in Reno, at Walden’s last night. Photo by our good friend Todd South.

We’re done with our run of recent shows and it was really great! We get, like, two weekends off or something, then we’re going to crash the RBS MASH Bash again in November… and I have some plans for an online concert. Check back for details on that. Meantime, we’re gonna rest our banjo-playing for a bit. :)

Todd Mauldin is a blues philosopher living in Reno, Nevada, who performs solo, as well as with his partner Jack Doyle as The Hellbusters.
The Hellbusters debut CD "Guilty" is available and fairly popular worldwide among those who like their blues hard, immediate, intimate and lightly cooked.
Todd Mauldin's solo show, featuring spoken word and hard country blues, is being performed to positive reviews.

Hope you find something interesting among the bric-a-brac here. There's information about Todd's blues, art and spoken word, as well as screeds and rants, video clips and music samples, bulls and scripture, and a large range of invective and hyperbole, both sacred and profane.
