CANCELLED: Mark Hummel, Steve Freund, Karl Sevareid & Gary Silva!

Mark Hummel was born on the East Coast and raised in Los Angeles. He took up an interest in blues harp and rock/blues music in high school, but soon discovered the originators - Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Little Walter, to name a few. He soon began frequenting the legendary Ash Grove on Melrose Avenue in LA, where he saw three blues legends he would later work with on a regular basis: Charlie Musselwhite, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, and James Cotton.
