GO TO www.mikehammar.com now!!! Checkout the new website today. Mike Hammar has been playing the blues in Central Valley and East Bay Area of California for the past 25 years. This Oklahoma born Native American was brought up on the blues by his father Mike Hammar, Sr. who introduced him to the music of Lightin' Hopkins, Gatemouth Brown, T-Bone Walker, and BB King. Still, Mike considers local bluesmen to be some of the greatest influences in his career. Mike spent time learning from and playing with all of his local heroes. After years of being a sideman, Mike set out to create his own legacy. He put together a hard working blues band in 2001 and swore he would do his best to record and perform his own style of blues. Mike Hammar and his band, The Nails, released their first album "Going Home" in the summer of 2004. Their album has received airplay on American Roots Music Radio in Norway, England, Germany, Belgium, Canada, and on the college radio circuit here in the United States. They have opened for Duke Robillard, Michael Burkes, Chris Cain, James Armstrong, Charlie Musselwhite, Curtis Salgado, Mark Hummel, Lee Oskar, Daniel Castro, Jerry Portnoy, Smokin Joe Kubek and Bnois King, and Tutu Jones, to name a few. Mike and the band are currently playing as many dates as they can while writing their second album. Mike brings a fiery fusion of many styles of blues guitar with passion and a whole lot of heart and soul. Booking Contact Email: hammarblues@yahoo.com
