Blues Harp Legend Mark Hummel with Funderburgh, Starr and Stuve (Thursday)

RMP is proud to present Blues Harp Legend Mark Hummel with Anson Funderburgh, Wes Starr and Bill Stuve.  This show is SO BIG that we booked two nights!   On Thursday night, we will have a special afterparty with The Delta Sonics.  You never know who might join the jam.

MARK HUMMEL was born on the East Coast but raised in Los Angeles. He took up an interest in blues harp & rock-blues music in high school but soon discovered the originators - Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson and Little Walter, to

name a few. Soon, Hummel was frequenting the legendary Ash Grove on Melrose Avenue in LA where he saw three blues legends he would later work with on a regular basis: Charlie Musselwhite, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee and

James Cotton. By 1985 Mark Hummel's Blues Survivors hit the road full time and never looked back. Hummel has been featured on over thirty recordings since 1985, including his Grammy-nominated, Blues Music Award-winning 2014 Blind

Pig Records release, Remembering Little Walter. Mark Hummel is a celebrated figure in the world of blues and has long been recognized for his exceptional talent and deep reverence for the blues tradition.

ANSON FUNDERBURGH was born and raised in Plano, Texas, and is a Blues Music Award winner.  Anson’s musical journey began at an early age. When he was eight or nine years old, Funderburgh received his first guitar. A box of 45s accompanied it - Jimmy Reed, T-Bone Walker, B.B. King, Albert Collins, Freddie King and Ray Sharpe - singles that pointed him on his musical path. Funderburgh taught himself to play the guitar and went on to make a living doing what he loved with that set of strings. In 1978, he formed the iconic blues band Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets, who continue to define the sound of modern-day Texas blues. Throughout his career, Funderburgh has had the privilege of sharing the stage, and working

and recording with many of the biggest names in blues, including Delbert McClinton and Jimmie Vaughan, along with countless others. His unmistakable style, tone and sensibility has made him one of contemporary blues music’s most important guitar players. Anson has developed into a legacy artist and his influence on innumerable guitarists is immeasurable. With each performance, Funderburgh reaffirms his status as a true legend of the blues.

Georgia native WES STARR stands as a rhythmic force, renowned for his unparalleled talent and dynamic presence behind the drum kit. He has kept time behind Asleep at The Wheel, Delbert McClinton, Marcia Ball, Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets, Hal Ketchum, Jimmie Vaughan, Willie Nelson, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, just to name a few! With a career spanning decades, Starr has established himself as a cornerstone of the blues scene.

Upright bassist BILL STUVE is best known for his three decades with Rod Piazza & Mighty Flyers. A highly sought-after bass player, Stuve has had the pleasure of backing up Jimmy Rogers, Charlie Musselwhite, Billy Boy Arnold, Pinetop Perkins, Little Milton, Big Joe Turner and many other blues greats. He has left an indelible mark on the blues scene with his impeccable musicianship and passion for the music.
