Hubert Sumlin

Hubert Sumlin is a living legend. He is the hero of guitar heroes but he doesn't think about that. Sumlin grew up playing his guitar with harmonica great James Cotton. In 1949 at the age of eighteen he became Howlin' Wolf's lead guitarist, a position he held down for the next twenty-five years, except for a brief six-month stint in Muddy Waters' band. He has played with Pinetop Perkins, Willie Dixon, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry and countless others. He counts among his biggest fans Jimmy Page, Carlos Santana, and John Mayer as well as Keith Richards and Eric Clapton, both of whom play on his album About Them Shoes. More information...

One day you’re going to be a living legend.” Now, more than a quarter-century later, Bryan Lee is one of the most recognizable blues players to call New Orleans home. More information...

Carlos del Junco
www.carlosdeljunco.com
Born in Havana, Cuba, del Junco (loosely translated "of the reeds") immigrated with his family at the age of one. He bent his first note on a harmonica when he was fourteen, making his debut with his high school math teacher at a student talent night. In his early 20's del Junco was immersed in a visual arts career; he graduated with honours from a four year programme, majoring in sculpture at the Ontario College of Art. Sculpture has definitely had an influence on his outlook on music: "Music is just a different way of creating textures and shapes."
