10/9 - John Nemeth
Németh returned to Electraphonic in December of 2019 with his seasoned road band of young gun players, The Blue Dreamers, featuring 19 year-old guitar phenom from Philadelphia, Jon Hay, drummer Danny Banks and Matt Wilson on bass for a rowdy southern swamp roots session resulting in his 10th album, “Stronger Than Strong” demonstrating, yet again, his uncanny ability to skillfully blend retro and modern blues and soul into compelling music that is simultaneously old and new.
9/26 - Curtis Salgado
Curtis Salgado saw Count Basie at 13 years old, turned to his father, and said: “This is what I want to do.” He has never wavered.
He learned racism through music — Count Basie couldn't walk through the front door of Carnegie Hall — and he learned history through the records his family stacked in every room of the house. By his early twenties he was playing harmonica in Eugene, Oregon, fronting The Nighthawks and co-leading the Robert Cray Band, fusing the five genres he'd inherited: funk, soul, gospel, R&B, and blues.
10/17 - Mark Hummel and Anson Funderburgh
Mark Hummel 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 Remembering Little Walter (part of the Blues Harmonica Blowout CD series). Mark Hummel's Blues Harmonica Blowout™ started in 1991 and have featured every major legend (Mayall, Musselwhite, Cotton, etc.) on blues harp as well as almost every player of note on the instrument - a who's who of players.
