SUMMARY:Charles Wheal Band
DESCRIPTION:Charles Wheal walked into a bar in Blacksburg Virginia to hea
 r Muddy Waters' old guitar player "Steady Rollin" Bob Margolin light up 
 the stage. That night\, he went back to his apartment\, picked up his ro
 ommate's acoustic guitar\, and hasn't been without one since. A few year
 s later\, he moved to London to pursue a career in global finance\, but 
 his passion for playing won out. Following in the footsteps of other Eng
 lish musicians steeped in the blues\, from Peter Green to Stevie Winwood
 \, Charles came back to America to delve deeper into the heart of the mu
 sic he felt compelled to play. After an apprenticeship in the historic c
 lubs of Chicago\, Charles was pulled further westward\, to one of the ep
 icenters of the contemporary Blues scene--San Francisco. Wheal got the c
 all from harmonica player Mark Hummel to fill the guitar chair in his ba
 nd. He played on all of Hummel's releases since then\, including three H
 armonica Meltdown CDs (Mountaintop) and Hummel's Electro-Fi CDs\, "Golde
 n State Blues"\, "Blowing My Horn"\, and "Ain't Easy no More". Over the 
 years\, Wheal has played with a virtual who's-who of blues greats\, incl
 uding James Cotton\, Snooky Pryor\, Sam Myers\, Joe Beard\, Steve Freund
 \, Charlie Musselwhite\, Kim Wilson (The Fabulous Thunderbirds)\, Rod Pi
 azza\, Rick Estrin (Rick Estrin & The Nightcats)\, James Harman\, Paul D
 elay\, Jerry Portnoy\, Lee Oskar\, Magic Dick\, Huey Lewis\, Jody Willia
 ms\, Jr Watson\, Billy Branch\, Curtis Salgado\, Maria Muldaur\, Bob Mar
 golin\, Anson Funderburgh\, Cal Valentine\, Detroit Jr\, Barrelhouse Chu
 ck\, Billy Boy Arnold\, and of course Mark Hummel. For almost a decade\,
  he anchored Mark Hummel and the Blues Survivors\, playing with some of 
 the greatest musicians of their generations\, criss-crossing North Ameri
 ca and Europe to packed halls\, and playing festivals and clubs to dedic
 ated fans of blues and jazz from around the world. In October of 2006\, 
 Wheal decided it was time to devote his energy to his own band. Charles 
 and his band can be found playing at all of the best Bay Area clubs\, pr
 oviding a mix of Chicago\, Texas\, and West coast blues that gets crowds
  on their feet and keeps them there.\n\nTickets: https://www.eventbrite.
