John Hammond has spent forty years entertaining audiences worldwide with his intense solo-acoustic folk blues. He has been called a musical force of nature – with his relentless, no-holds-barred guitar playing, stomping his foot, alternately singing and wailing on the harmonica, he can often sound like an entire band all by himself. Inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame last year, Hammond’s roots-driven touch on powerful interpretations of classic blues songs make them uniquely his own and render them unforgettable for listeners everywhere.
