Meet The Hammerhead Horns:

 www.hhhorns.com

The Hammerhead Horns are a five piece group that play old-time Barrelhouse Blues, Ragtime,
New Orleans Boogie Woogie, Swing, R&B, Torch Ballads and Gospel. They cover all the best
stuff from the 1920s through the 1960s, playing everything from Fats Domino to Billie Holiday
to Ray Charles to Muddy Waters. In addition to this wonderful catalog of songs they include
some of their own compositions that fit right in stylistically and have become audience favorites.
The four guys, who have a very long musical history, got together to do a one time performance
in the Fall of 2021. They had so much fun that they decided to keep it going. Not long after, they
added Vocalist, Leslie Barkman which took things to a brand new level.
Recognition for the band has been progressing quite well. We were recently nominated for a
2023 Capital District “Eddie Award”. 

The band recently found out that they have been nominated in the “Best Blues Band” catagory for the 2026 Eddie Awards.
Our group’s goal is to have a great time making great music, that we love, and provide an epic
great time to all who are listening and dancing!
