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, and Colorado. He now resides in Chicago and tours with Nick Moss. On the strength of his critically-acclaimed Blue Bella Records CD, "Since Way Back," Gerry is nominated for a 2008 Blues Music Award for Best Instrumentalist, Other (Mandolin).
"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
