About Me |
|
| HAM is a finger-pickin’, foot-stompin’, harp-blowin’ roots blues duo out of Vancouver. Drawing influences from the old masters and innovators like John Hurt, Muddy Waters, and Robert Johnson, their music tells rich tales of midnight trains, black cat bones, highwaymen and a time when song was a simple expression of the soul. Shawn Hall (aka ‘the harpoonist’) grew up in Toronto, immersing himself in the local blues scene and eventually forming the band ‘Tied to the Tracks’. Matt Rogers (aka ‘the axe murderer’) grew up coping licks from his father’s collection of BB King records. Both have since become renowned producers working with Mark Berube, Ben Rogers, Dirty Bottom, Gordie Johnson, CR Avery and the VSO. Together, they have returned to their roots, and the roots of the music that surrounds us everyday.artwork by Ben Rogers | |
