Event

Hatrack Gallagher & Friends

Everything that Hatrack Gallagher plays -- the feeling and heart of every performance he gives -- is shaped and informed by the blues. He learned his craft at the knees of Peg Leg Sam Jackson, Sonny Terry, Hammie Nixon, Furry Lewis , Bukka White, Roosevelt Sykes, Robert Pete Williams and others. He knows how it's supposed to be done, and he brings it all with him when he plays. The "it" is blues harmonica blues harp to be precise and we haven't heard anyone better since Paul Butterfield was around to pound out Chicago-style blues. For this show, Hatrack brings along jazz pianist and regular side man Ric Mauré, with his fabulous blues chops, Jim Guttman on bass, and Forrest Padgett on drums.
