Bluedays: Mark Hummel

Harp hero Mark Hummel plays Bluesdays in The Village at Squaw Valley on Tuesday, July 20.. He’s hosted several harmonica blowouts around the lake and in Reno during its blues heyday at the Hacienda Del Sol has played with legends such as Brownie McGhee and Jimmy Rogers.

“I’ve brought up so many good musicians that people know that I will bring up a great band,” Hummel said. This year, he’s bringing guitarist Rusty Zinn, drummer Wes Starr and bassist Randy Bermudes of the Charlie Musselwhite Band and Bob Welch of Elvin Bishop’s Big Fun Trio.
