Harmonica Manufacture Picks Local Player
For New Marine Band Multi-Pack
Minnesota-based harmonica player, Mike Fugazzi writes: "I am super excited, honored, and humbled to announce that I am now an official endorser of Hohner Harmonicas. They called me the week of Christmas and asked if I would sign on as an endorsee for my efforts as a contemporary performer in both rock and blues, my work with harmonica education, and my work as a custom harmonica builder. As part of the deal, I will also be featured on a new product line of multi-pack Marine Band harmonicas."
"Hohner is the world's largest manufacturer of harmonicas and has proudly maintained a tradition of high quality instrument making. Hohner's long standing dedication to harmonica excellence has inspired a loyal following among players from all walks of life; young and old, amateur and professional. Other endorsers include John Popper of Blues Traveler, Howard Levy, Joe Filisko, Taylor Hicks, Charlie McCoy, Kim Wilson, Steven Tyler, Bob Dylan, RJ Mischo, and Toots Thielesman."
Mike has been very generous with his time teaching harmonica with our Blues For Kids program and is currently playing in his band, Groove Stew, along with playing in the The Mark Cameron Band. — Jake Jacobson
