Mark Hummel started playing harmonica in 1970 and is considered one of the premier blues harmonica players of his generation. He is a road warrior—a true Blues Survivor. Along the way, he has crafted his own trademark harmonica sound: a subtle combination of tone, phrasing and attack combined with a strong sense of swing. Thanks to his albums, constant touring and appearances at the major blues festivals, he's firmly established his solid reputation around the US and Europe.
