The Mudrats @ Venables Theatre

Event Dates:
  • Wed • February 4, 2026 • 7:00 PM
  • Event Cost: $15-$20

Mudrats are your local scene, 6-piece, teenage rock band from Oliver, BC. The band consists of Ezra Toon on bass and lead vocals, Tommy Racz and Silas McCallister on guitars and vocals, Edwin Lee on lead and rhythm guitar, Sam Lee on keys, and Rocky Toon on drums. From a random put-together for a Toonmade School of Rock performance, the band quickly decided to form Mudrats in winter of 2023 – and have gained a hefty fan base from their successful gigs—Roots & Fruits 2024, October & November 2024 shows at the Firehall Brewery, and Sunshine Festival 2025 just to name a few.

The crowds that show up and sellout their shows are no surprise, for the Mudrats play a plethora of classic covers by bands such as The Beatles, Dire Straits, and the Tragically Hip. The band has started to write originals to share on top of the classic covers, with influences from Pixies, Oasis, and Coldplay. The talent and skill of these youth are not to be missed; Mudrats bring the energy, feel, and passion you haven’t heard in ages.
