Presents Mark Hummel at Bluetick Tavern, Maryville TN

On Sunday, November 20th, the Smoky Mountain Blues Society and Bluetick Tavern will be pleased to present Mark Hummel – a renowned American blues harmonica player, vocalist, songwriter, and long-time bandleader of the Blues Survivors. Since 1991, Hummel has produced the Blues Harmonica Blowout tour, of which he is also a featured performer. The shows have featured blues harmonica players such as James Cotton, Carey Bell, John Mayall and Charlie Musselwhite. Although he is typically identified as performing West Coast blues, Hummel is also proficient in Delta blues, Chicago blues, swing and jazz styles. Hummel also plays with the Golden State Lone Star Revue (a Texas/California supergroup), Mark Hummel & Deep Basement Shakers (a jug band trio), as well as the current edition of the Blues Survivors.
