Oct 27  -  Studebaker John & the Hawks - Mojalki Golf Club - Franklin

Studebaker John Grimaldi was born in the Italian-American section of Chicago and started playing harmonica at age 7. Under the spell of music he heard on Maxwell St, Chicago’s famed blues melting pot, Grimaldi began performing as Studebaker John & the Hawks in the 70’s. The band referenced the Studebaker Hawk, a car Grimaldi still owns today, and was so intended as a tribute to his friend, J.B. Hutto and the Hawks. John began playing the guitar after a life changing experience seeing Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers perform.  “… Hound Dog started playing, hitting notes sending chills up and down my spine. He was versatile and powerful and would play rhythm as well as lead. I left there knowing what I wanted to do. I had to play slide guitar”
