Mark Hummel is considered one of the premier blues harmonica players of his generation. A road warrior from the West Coast of California, along the way he has crafted his own trademark harmonica sound - a subtle combination of tone, phrasing and attack combined with a strong sense of swing. He has toured or recorded with blues legends Charles Brown, Charlie Musselwhite, Lowell Fulson, Billy Boy Arnold, Carey Bell, Lazy Lester, Brownie McGhee, Eddie Taylor, Luther Tucker and Jimmy Rogers. Grammy Nominated for his Remembering Little Walter CD, he also won Best Blues CD and Best Traditional Blues CD at the Blues Music Awards in Memphis, TN. His The Hustle Is Really On climbed to #2 and stayed in the top five for four months on the Living Blues Radio Charts. His book "BIG ROAD BLUES:12 Bars on I-80" garnered rave reviews and was nominated for best Independent Book release.
