James Cotton Tribute w/Mark Hummel & Steve Freund


Grammy Award Nominee and Winner of two Blues Music Awards, Mark Hummel started playing harmonica in 1970 and is considered one of his generation's premier blues harmonica players. Thanks to over thirty recordings since 1985, including the Grammy-nominated 2013 release Blind Pig recording Remembering Little Walter (part of the Blues Harmonica Blowout CD series). Mark Hummel's Blues Harmonica Blowout™ started in 1991 and has featured every major legend (Mayall, Musselwhite, Cotton, etc.) on blues harp and almost every player of note on the instrument - a who's who of players. The James Cotton Tribute Band is Mark Hummel playing and singing James' role as frontman, Steve Freund on guitar (Sunnyland Slim, Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Otis Rush, Bo Diddley, and 12 yrs w/Cotton), June Core on drums, and Randy Bermudes on bass. The iconic harmonica man James Cotton passed in 2017 at 81. Cotton is considered by most the last great harp titan of the generation that produced Little Walter, who James replaced in Muddy Waters Band, Sonny Boy Williamson 2, who raised Cotton from 12 years old, Junior Wells, Big Walter, and many more. James’ career spanned more than six decades and put him on the map of All Time Blues Greats!
