Lamont Gillispie & 100 Proof Genre: Blues (Harmonica Based Chicago Style) Hometown: Louisville, Kentucky Lamont grew up in Greasy Creek, Kentucky listening to a Nashville radio station, WLAC. Although his family's roots were in bluegrass, his heart was rooted in blues. After high school, Lamont played around Louisville in a couple of local blues bands. Eventually, he moved to Chicago where he became the harmonica player for Lefty Dizz and the Chicago Blues Hounds. Upon his return to Louisville, he helped form the Stray Cat Band which played together for 9 years. Lamont feels his current band, 100 Proof, will go to the recording studio very soon and release their debut CD to the masses. |
