Gerry Hundt is a musician who plays and sings Chicago Blues for a living. He has been playing taverns since before he was allowed to drink in them. Born in Wisconsin and raised in Illinois, Gerry has since lived in Vermont, New York City, Colorado, and Chicago. In Denver, he worked, toured, and recorded with the likes of John-Alex Mason, Ronnie Shellist, The ClamDaddys, and Easy Bill. From 2004 through 2009, Gerry toured the USA and EU relentlessly as a member of Chicago's Nick Moss & The Flip-Tops, filling the role of "utility man," playing bass, guitar, harmonica, and, of course, mandolin. On the strength of his critically-acclaimed Blue Bella Records CD, "Since Way Back," Gerry was nominated for Blues Music Awards in 2008 & 2009 for Best Instrumentalist, Other (Mandolin), and featured at the Montreal Jazz Festival and The Blues Station in Tournon d'Agenais, France. In addition to continuing worldwide radio and web airplay, tracks from "Since Way Back" have appeared numerous times on NPR's "Morning Edition." Gerry now resides in Northwest Indiana, where his new one-man-band consistently draws fans new and old to deep Chicago Blues.
"I think Gerry's a badass harp player and a great musician." - Joe Filisko
About SINCE WAY BACK
(Blue Bella Records):
"Not only has Gerry Hundt contributed musically to a good portion of the increasingly formidable Blue Bella Record label's entire catalog on guitar, mandolin, harmonica, bass, and keyboards, but he has provided engineering skills and even laid the floor tile in the studio restroom. For his own debut as the leader, Hundt brings a rousing, brash album to the welcome mini-revival of blues mandolin recordings, seasoned with the raw vintage Chicago blues flame also kept so well by the Flip-Tops." - Dick Shurman
"Captures the spirit of Johnny Young. What more can you say than that?" - Billy Flynn
"It's just an amazing record...you’ve probably never heard anything quite like it. I know I haven’t." - Josh Hathaway, fanboy blog
"'Since Way Back' rocks with pure unadulterated abandon!" - Don Crow, Music City Blues
Just read from you and must reply here so that "YOUR" greatness can be appreciated. When it comes to music, If it's true, then play it; else, let it slide! - LOL! Your skills at Chan's were beyond what most have provided: YOU WERE CREATIVE, SOLID BUT NOT COMPLACENT, HIGHLY ARTICULATE AND PUNCHY! PUNCHY! PUNCHY!
I reserve detailed comments for the who are, in my humble opinion, truly worthy inspirational musicians which is what my observations have lead me to conclude you are, Gerry: "A REAL BASSIST!" and now one of my favorites!
Many thanks and please return to Chan's so that I may attend,
