John Hammond

For over 40 years, the venerated blues artist John Hammond has been entertaining blues, folk, and rock fans around the world. With his acoustic and National steel guitars, harmonicas, and a massive repertoire of tunes, Hammond has followed the path of such singing poets as Woody Guthrie, Lightnin’ Hopkins, and Sonny Boy Williamson, taking musical stories of life and love from one regional corner of the globe to another. Over the course of his stellar career, Hammond has worked with Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, the Band, Bill Wyman, J.J. Cale, John Mayall, Michael Bloomfield, Dr. John, and such blues greats as Koko Taylor, Charlie Musselwhite, and John Lee Hooker, among others.
