Mark Hummel & Friends Live at Empress Theatre
Grammy Nominee, Blues Award winner, and author, Mark has won Best Blues CD and best traditional Blues CD at the Blues Music Awards in Memphis, TN.
His recording The Hustle Is Really On climbed to #2 and stayed in the top five for four months on the Living Blues Radio Charts. Mark started playing harmonica in 1970 and is considered one of the premier blues harmonica players of his generation thanks to over thirty recordings since 1985, including the Grammy-nominated 2013 release Blind Pig recording.
Hummel has crafted his own trademark harmonica sound - a subtle combination of tone, phrasing, and attack combined with a strong sense of swing.
Joining Mark are Aki Kumar, Pete Fazzini, and Tony Delgado
