Dennis Gruenling - BadAss Harmonica

LIVE Saturday Q&A Webinar 2pm PACIFIC / 5pm EASTERN Streaming LIVE only - Register Ahead of Time! Andrew Alli - After being inspired by a busker playing harmonica on the street one day, Andrew hit a local music store and grabbed his first harp. From that point on, he was hooked and he committed himself to learning the history of this instrument. He soon fell in love with it and began studying all of the past blues greats including Big Walter, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, Junior Wells, and George Smith. Having spent a number of years fronting his own band as well as touring with other musicians (playing a mix of mostly Chicago & Jump style blues), Andrew has garnered more well-deserved attention in recent years being part of both the “Blues For Big Walter” tribute album on Ellersoul, and Jontavious Willis’s Grammy-nominated “Spectacular Class” album. In addition, he is currently nominated for “Best Emerging Artist Album” in this year’s Blues Music Awards. Join us for this Q&A Webinar for a look into the style, approach and musical thoughts of this young player who is already making a name for himself in the modern blues scene.
