A high energy, yet authentic style of electric blues with jazz and rock influences, the Hammer Smith Band is an L.A. based rockin' blues band. The combined virtuosity of these musicians (harmonica, guitar, bass and drums) creates a fresh, explosive sound that has wide ranging appeal. Hammer Smith's versatile, ingratiating blues harmonica style with his genuine rhythm and blues band makes it obvious that they were born with the blues running through their blood. This band is a real treat, red hot and rockin’ R&B music at its best by real musicians.
There seems to be no dearth of harp players on the increasingly competitive blues circuit. But few anywhere have the world-class chops of harmonica wizard Chris "Hammer" Smith. And none can claim, as he can, to have recorded with Paul McCartney, Sammy Hagar, Smokey Robinson, Dolly Parton, Julio Iglesias, John Tesh, and Michael Jackson, and played on soundtracks for some of the biggest commercials and television shows ever aired. After years of L.A. studio work, Smith is kicking his solo career into high gear.
Smith began playing harmonica in the late 1960s. He studied along the way with harp-master Rick Epping, and found a mentor in blues legend Sonny Terry. The Hammer Smith Band, formed in the early 1980s, plays a high-energy brand of electric blues basted with a sauce conjured from the roots of Cajun, country, jazz and rock. The group has opened for such blues legends as Bonnie Raitt, Albert King, Big Joe Turner, B.B. King, and Johnny Winter.
