James Cotton Blues Band with Hubert SumlinSaturday, October 21 • 8pm"Harp-player extraordinaire" —New York Daily News Grammy-winner and 2006 Blues Hall of Fame inductee James “Superharp” Cotton heats up the house in this night of explosive harmonica and gutbucket grooves. One of the all-time great showmen, Cotton has driven audiences wild for more than 50 year – from his youthful apprenticeships with Sonnyboy Williamson and Muddy Waters to nearly four decades as a leader. In this Festival performance, Cotton is reunited with his storied guitar collaborator Hubert Sumlin—himself a Blues Hall of Fame inductee in 2005 and a Howlin’ Wolf veteran. As the New York Daily News described the Superharp experience: “We’re talking about the blues, loud and fast and getting down dirty, we’re talking about James Cotton.” Read Program Notes
