Here's a great acoustic musician and a really good friend of ours. Whether playing old-time blues or traditional bluegrass, John's musical pursuits put him at the top!
Be sure to check out Lil' Rev's site for more info on this old-time expert. With major accomplishments on the harmonica, ukelele, and mandolin, Rev uses his skills and wide repertoire to stay busy. We've welcomed him on many occasions as the sixth Water Street Hot Shot!
A Madison institution, Ammons played on the street and elsewhere with Catfish during the 1990's. Here's a site with a little more info on Catfish. You don't have to look to hard around Madison to find him playing somewhere.
Milwakee's Steve Cohen was the first to put blues in Ammons' ears. Ammons took some harmonica lessons from Steve Cohen in the mid-1980's. Find a chance to catch Steve perform as soon as possible!
Be sure to visit the new website featuring Eric Noden. Eric is a great blues guitar and piano player based out of Chicago. His CD, recorded live with harmonica expert Joe Filisko, is highly recommended by the Hot Shots! Also find his most recent CD, "The Original" for some great songwriting.
We met Joe Filisko last fall and we were blown away! Joe is known around the world for his harmonica playing, teaching, and custom built harmonicas. Harmonica fans MUST check out his work. Hear him play with Eric Noden.
