2 Blues Harp Greats – Hummel & Mischo – at Namba

MARK HUMMEL Harp Blowout Producer, Grammy nominee/Blues Award winner/author/harp man started playing harmonica in 1970 and has gone on to become one of the premier blues harmonica players of his generation. Hummel has been featured on over thirty recordings since 1985 including the Grammy nominated 2013 Blind Pig release ‘Remembering Little Walter’ (a recording of a Mark Hummel Blues Harmonica Blowout). “Mark Hummel came of age in the early ’70’s at the height of rock and roll, like many of his peers went and bought a harmonica and hasn’t stopped playing since. A specialist in West Coast Blues, he is a seasoned showman who knows more than a thing or two about how to please an audience.” (The New Yorker)
RJ MISCHO is considered by critics and fans worldwide to be in the upper echelon of today’s great Harp players and singers. RJ’s music is drenched in the grease of the juke joint shuffles that have stayed in style since before they called it Rock & Roll. “Mischo’s magnificent tone, formidable chops, and affable, self-assured vocals…” make him a top entertainer; the kind of entertainer that only 25 years of touring experience will bring to the stage.
