Jackson and Oziel
The two Davids (Jackson and Oziel) met at an Archie Edwards Blues Heritage Foundation jam in Riverdale, Maryland. They formed and instant bond based on their love of blues and old rhythm and blues music. They have performed together with Sheryl Sears and in other groups before forming the present duo. Jackson formed the first D.C. Blues Society Band in 1984, and has performed in numerous bands in the Washington D.C. area. Oziel began exploring the blues in his teen years. He hosted a blues and R&B radio show in Boston, Massachusetts , while in college. Always a singer, he picked up the guitar in later years and began playing the blues.
In January 2015, Jackson and Oziel represented the D.C. Blues Society in the solo/duo competition at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee. They performed at the 2015 D.C. Blues Festival held at the Carter Baron Amphitheater. They formed the band, DC Mudd in 2015 and represented the D.C. Blues Society in the band competition at the 2016 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee. The band played the D.C. Folk Festival at Glen Echo Park and the D. C. Blues Festival at Carter Baron Amphitheater.
