Sam Myer’s Coming From The Old School

When he was 7, Sam Myers’ eyesight was limited by cataracts, although this forever changed his life, it never limited his music worldly travels and ascension into the blues as a powerful singer, inspiring harmonica player, and highly decorated drummer. He became one of the most regarded and vibrant blues giants.

His song Coming From The Old School is a title track harmonica instrumental from what would end up being his last album. It show cases not only Sam’s complete mastery of the instrument but also his deep connection with the blues and his strong human spirit.

Nic Clark

HARMONICA

Nic Clark is a Harmonicist born and raised in Colorado. Growing up Nic wasn’t as interested in hanging with his friends as much as he was with his family’s music collection. Whether it was listening to Ray Charles and Marvin Gaye with his Mom, or Hound dog Taylor with his dad, Nic always had a love for older American music. Nic got his first set of harmonicas on his 12th birthday, and soon began going to local jams and sitting in with some of Colorado’s most prominent Blues acts including The Delta Sonics, Johnny Long, Lionel Young, and Dan Trenor and Afrosippi. In 2010, he became one of the youngest musicians ever to be endorsed by Hohner Harmonicas.

Some of Nic’s accomplishments include “Favorite Harmonica” at the Colorado Blues Society Member’s Choice Awards (2017, 2015, and 2014), And a finalist at The International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN (2012, and 2014).

Nic has been fortunate enough to share the stage with many great roots musicians including John Nemeth, Jason Ricci, Lonnie Brooks, Billy Branch, Rick Estrin and The Nightcats, And Big Head Todd and The Monsters.
