Returning to the Ellington Stage!! We consider ourselves very lucky to have landed John Hammond again. This show will sell out QUICKLY so be sure you don't get stuck without a ticket!
"So how does he continue to do it and do it with such passion? 'Because I love it, that's how,' he said. 'It's my life.' Blues doesn't get any better than this, in concept or execution. Stay on the road, John Hammond. We need your blues." -- BlueSpeak
From coffeehouses to concert halls, festivals and beyond, John Hammond has spent forty years entertaining blues, folk and rock audiences around the world, performing intense solo-acoustic blues. A Grammy Award winner and four time nominee, Hammond is also a multiple Blues Music Award winner who has shared the stage and/or recorded with many of the masters, including Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker and Howlin' Wolf. John has recorded over thirty albums and his passionate commitment to traditional blues made him the natural choice to host the BRAVO TV special and Sony Home Video, The Search for Robert Johnson.
His album, Push Comes To Shove, was released in January 2007 to glowing reviews from Time Out New York, the Washington Post, American Songwriter and many more. The disc was produced by longtime Hammond fanatic G Love (Garret Dutton III) and features Stephen Hodges on drums, Marty Ballou on bass and Bruce Katz on piano and organ. Hammond wrote an unprecedented five original songs for the album, along with new renditions of tunes by Little Walter, Junior Wells, Tom Waits and more.
Doors open at 7:30
