Grammy award winning Bluesman John Hammond has become a legend in his own right. With 7 Grammy nominations, including one for 2010, Hammond’s history is a who’s who of Blues, and includes performances or recordings with Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Duane Allman, Mike Bloomfield, JJ Cale, Tom Waits, The Band, John Lee Hooker, Dr. John and many, many more. He has so many stories to tell, including putting the band together for the young Jimi Hendrix that launched his international career. Hammond has repeatedly been voted as one of the top ten blues artist in the world. He is known as as the embodiment of the quintessential acoustic Blues troubadour, always serving tradition by pouring his heart and soul into full-bodied interpretations of the classics through the simple combination of brilliant guitar, rack harmonica, and intensely expressive vocals. Hammond has released over two-dozen albums over a four-decade career, and has earned a stellar reputation as one of the most compelling live blues showman on stage.
