Description

House of Blues and Jazz is happy to present Sam Hooper Group!

Sam Hooper, a talented Boston-based blues musician, together with Jordan Scannella on bass and Akira Nakamura on drums will present their show in China for the fourth time. The first performance of the Sam Hooper Group at the House of Blues & Jazz will be September 30th.

They were among the first foreign bands on the stage of the House of Blues and Jazz in 2004, and were warmly wellcomed by Shanghai audiences again in 2006. This year, the three will be joined by keyboard player Todd Marston.

Their music can be described as an alluring blend of blues/rock, pop and funk. Sam’s soulful vocals have been compared to Otis Redding and Robert Cray, while critics have likened his blistering guitar playing to Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana.

The Sam Hooper Group will perform at the House of Blues and Jazz every day except Monday. More about the band at www.samhooper.com
