04/22/10 • Blues Harmonica Blowout • 08:00 PM

Mark Hummel -- James Montgomery -- Magic Dick -- Sugar Ray Norcia

Mark Hummel is a road warrior - a true Blues Survivor. 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.  Since 1991 Mark has been both producing&performing at his annual Blues Harmonica Blowoutâ„¢ series. These shows have grown to be a much heralded event&continue to draw sellout crowds wherever they appear.

When blues legend James Montgomery plays the harmonica, he "brings it on home". Whether it's recording with Kid Rock, sitting in with Gregg Allman, or fronting his hot band of thirty years, Montgomery plays with authority.  We've seen it first hand at the hall two time, about to make it three!

Originally from New London, Connecticut, Magic Dick arrived in post-war America to the Atomic Bomb, World Peace, Bebop and Rhythm&Blues. The trumpet was his constant companion and served as a springboard to the harmonica in his sophomore year at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts where he met J. Geils and Danny Klein and became a founding member of the J. Geils Blues Band in 1968.

Sugar Ray Norcia was the frontman for Roomful of Blues for six years, from 1991-1997. Sugar Ray was not only the frontman, harp player and singer for Roomful, he also contributed many excellent tunes to their recordings and repertoire.

Wow, all this talent in one night?  Too good to be true?
