He is one of a handful of the Best Pla yers ever on the Instrument”.\n– Blues Revue Magazine\n\n"Harmonica ac e Mark Hummel has always surrounded himself with top notch talent.\nHummel certainly spends time on center stage with both his vocals and harmonica\ , most prominently on the instrumental "Walking with Mr. Lee".   Top not ch from start to finish\, skip this one at your peril." \n- Mark Smith/Mu sic Revue\nhttps://markhummel.com/\n\n\nhttps://ansonfunderburgh.com/\nIT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE FOR BLUES GUITAR LEGEND ANSON FUNDERBURGH FROM PLANO \, TEXAS\n\n\nFor close to 50 years\, those words pretty well sum up Funde rburgh’s life and love of just being “in the moment” when he’s on stage coaxing some of the very best blues guitar sounds in the world from his Fender Stratocaster.\n\nIn the moment indeed. That’s where Funderbur gh lives every day. “I’m just a simple country boy\,” he says. But t his is one country boy who felt the call of the blues early on and turned his love of country music into blistering blues that tell the tale of the working man. The every-day\, simple man. People just like Funderburgh hims elf.\n\nFunderburgh isn’t like a lot of other musicians and performers. He shuns the spotlight….  He’s not big on small talk\, either. He’s more than happy to let his guitar do all the talking. And man\, do people listen. At 5’9\, Funderburgh is an unassuming figure. With his understa ted Southern manners and laid-back conversational style\, it would be easy to mistake him as a wallflower.\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL\n\nDiscount C ode: WNYBS-MARK\n\nTickets: ->\; https://events.eventgroove.com/event/Ma rk-Hummel-Anson-Funderburgh-73536\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://i0.wp.com/wnyblues.org/wp-content/upload s/2023/06/Mark-Hummel-Anson-Funderburgh-6-13-23-Fanatics.png?fit=360%2C231 &ssl=1 CATEGORIES:Live Blues Music LOCATION:Fanatics\, 7281 West Main St\, Lima\, NY\, 14485\, United States GEO:42.904931;-77.612755 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=7281 West Main St\, Lima\, NY\, 14485\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Fanatics:geo:42.9049 31,-77.612755 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20230312T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
