The Golden State/Lone Star Revue is an all-star, cross-country melding of musicians from California — Mark Hummel (harp-blower, vocalist, bandleader and Grammy nominee), Little Charlie Baty (ex-Nightcats bandleader and guitar hero) and RW Grigsby (bassist) — and Texans Anson Funderburgh (guitarist and Rockets bandleader) and Wes Starr (famed Austin drummer who has played with a who’s who of Texas music royalty).

Hummel’s Blues Award nominated release; “The Hustle Is Really On”, features the GS/LS Revue, which has just completed a new recording for 2016 release. Besides producing and playing on Blind Pig’s “Remembering Little Walter” with Charlie Musselwhite, Billy Boy Arnold, Sugar Ray Norcia, James Harman, Little Charlie Baty, Nathan James, June Core & RW Grigsby, the CD was nominated for a Grammy Award and has recently won Best Blues Album & Best Traditional Blues Album of the year at the Blues Music Awards in Memphis, TN.

Hummel’s latest CD on ElectroFi “The Hustle Is Really On” just placed #2 on Living Blues Radio and features the Golden State/Lone Star project.

“When this trio of pilots took it for a spin, it soared and rocked, powered by electricity and an elite crew who make flying the blues-friendly skies a reality, not a catchphrase.” Grant Britt – BLUES MUSIC MAGAZINE

“On the “Hustle Is Really On”, Hummel and his co-conspirators invoke the spirit of these greats with plenty of verve and chops to spare.” Michael Cote – BLUES MUSIC MAGAZINE

“Mark Hummel came of age in the early 70s, at the height of rock and roll,like many of his peers went and bought a harmonica and hasn’t stopped playing since. A specialist in West Coast Blues he’s a seasoned showman who knows more than a thing or two about how to please an audience.” – THE NEW YORKER
