Doors 6:30pm/No Early Birds. Table Reservations are $100, email [email protected] for info! This is a super line up!!! I enjoy everyone of these great musicians and having them all together at the same time would be an over the top treat for any music fan. This could be historic! -Charlie Musselwhite Mark Hummel is indeed a road dog – and this is his best album so far. Clean strong production by Kid Andersen- I think Mark’s got a winner here. Elvin Bishop Grammy-nominted Harmonica man/singer/songwriter/bandleader/author/impresario MARK HUMMEL was born in New Haven, CT but moved to Los Angeles as a newborn. Hummel took up an interest in blues harp & rock-blues music in high school but soon discovered the originators like Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson & Little Walter. Soon after, Hummel frequented the Ash Grove club on Melrose Ave. in LA where he saw (in a three month period) three blues legends he would later work with on a regular basis; Charlie Musselwhite, Brownie McGhee (w/Sonny Terry) & James Cotton. By 1985 Mark Hummel’s Blues Survivors hit the road full time & continue till the present (Hummel’s memoir, “Big Road Blues: 12 Bars on I-80” recounts many road exploits). Hummel’s been featured on over thirty recordings since 1985 including his 2014 Blind Pig Records, Remembering Little Walter (a recording of a Hummel Blues Harp Blowout.) The CD was nominated for a Grammy Award and won two Blues Music Hummel’s most recent release, “ Road Dog” , a album that redefines the scope and beauty of what the instruments are capable of in the right hands of Hummel, Anson Funderburgh and Junior Watson.
