“Hummel, a specialist in West Coast Blues, knows a thing or two about how to please an audience” – New Yorker
“Hummel plays the harmonica with the fat, full sound that made Little Walter sound almost like a saxophonist rather than a harp man”. – Chicago Sun-Times
“Mark Hummel is a Harmonica Virtuoso. He is one of a handful of the Best Players ever on the Instrument”. – Blues Revue Magazine
Mark Hummel is a Grammy-nominated and Blues Music Award-winning blues harmonica player, vocalist, songwriter, and long-time bandleader of The Blues Survivors.
Since 1991, Hummel has produced the Blues Harmonica Blowout tour, of which he is also a featured performer. The shows have featured blues harmonica players such as James Cotton, Carey Bell, John Mayall and Charlie Musselwhite. Although he is typically identified as performing West Coast blues, Hummel is also proficient in Delta blues, Chicago blues, swing and jazz styles. Hummel also plays with the Golden State Lone Star Revue (a Texas/California supergroup), Mark Hummel & Deep Basement Shakers (a jug band trio), as well as the Blues Survivors.
Hummel has an all-star lineup for this show: Grammy Winner (Cadillac Records soundtrack with Beyonce) guitarist Billy Flynn (Otis Rush, Kim Wilson, Delmark Records sessions), drummer Wes Starr (Willie Nelson, Delbert McClinton, Marsha Ball, Asleep at the Wheel, Omar & Howlers, Anson & Rockets, Kim Wilson, Jimmy Reed Highway), and bassist Jon Ross (Kim Wilson, Duke Robillard).
