Special Guest: Recording Artist Brad Hatfield
Singer, songwriter and harmonica player Brad Hatfield is a Cincinnati, Ohio Blues artist. Born from the blood of a Blues man, he’s been bathed in the Blues since birth. He picked up the guitar at the age of 10. At the age of 25, his triumph to tragedy story began. After being seriously injured in a construction accident, he was left paralyzed.
Because of the limited use of his hands due to paralysis, playing guitar was now a thing of the past. After a lengthy rehabilitation to get the most out of his body and mind, he was in search of another instrument to channel his creative outlet. The harmonica became that instrument. Although he didn’t start playing harmonica until his early 30’s, he has now achieved a skill level enviable of most lifelong blues harp players.
Adding to his skill set, and arguably more notable than his harp playing, is his incredibly soulful voice. He has the stuff that blue-eyed soul legends are made of.
Food & Bar: Our full food and drink menu will be available before and during the show.
