Lineup: Hamilton Loomis, Spit Cup and The Jukes The San Antonio Blues Society presents Since 2001 "The Original" ROBERT JOHNSON S.A. SESSIONS Starring HAMILTON LOOMIS with SPIT CUP AND THE JUKES ABOUT THE SHOW Since 2001, this annual SABS November event pays tribute to one of the founding fathers of blues music and one of the major musical influencers of the modern ages. We celebrate Robert Johnson and the music he recorded here in San Antonio back in 1936 at the historical Gunter Hotel. These recording sessions gave the world Sweet Home Chicago, Cross Road Blues, Ramblin’ on My Mind, and thirteen others monumental classics. Young soon-to-be rock and blues giants embraced this music and infused it in their playing, guaranteeing its immortality. In 1980, Robert Johnson was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame. In 1986, he was one of the inaugural inductees into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame. Robert Johnson came to San Antonio to be recorded for Don Law at The Gunter Hotel in late November 1936. Don Law was a producer for the American Record Corporation (ARC), the predecessor to Columbia Records. Recordings took place over three days; November 23, 26, and 27. Two rooms were used; rooms 413 and 414. Robert was in one of the rooms with the microphone running over to the next room where Don Law's team was with the recording equipment. The Gunther Hotel has retired Room 414 and designated it as the Robert Johnson room. Through the efforts of the San Antonio Blues Society and endorsed by the Robert Johnson Blues Society, the Robert Johnson Historical Marker was created and placed in The Gunter Hotel. The sixteen songs recorded by Robert Johnson at the Gunter Hotel, November 1936: Kind Hearted Woman Blues • (I Believe I'll) Dust My Broom • Sweet Home Chicago • Ramblin' on My Mind • When You Got a Good Friend • Come on in My Kitchen • Terraplane Blues • Phonograph Blues • 32-20 Blues • They're Red Hot • Dead Shrimp Blues • Cross Road Blues • Walking Blues • Last Fair Deal Gone Down • Preaching Blues • If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day --- Get your tickets today for The Original Robert Johnson S.A.

Hamilton Loomis - Website -- Facebook -- Instagram -- X -- YouTube "That’s another thing that planted the GIVE IT BACK seed in my mind. It’s all coming full circle.” Taken from his bio page, this quote explains Hamilton's ambition: doing for others as was done for him. A few icons in blues music took an active interest in Hamilton's musical evolution, namely, Bo Diddley, Clarence "Gatesmouth" Brown, Albert Collins, Joe "Guitar" Hughes, and Johnny Copeland. These artists gave of their time and their craft. Hamilton seeks to pay it forward by advising local young artists and giving them chances to perform, even on his recordings and his live performances. He understands how important an effect a parent or mentor can provide a young person interested in music. As is so often with the artists we see perform, it was his parents that opened the musical world to him. His childhood Galveston home was loaded with many instruments, so it follows that Hamilton became proficient on guitar, drums, piano, and harmonica. His music was the blend of blues, R&B, and funk. Then came the big break: when he was sixteen he met Bo Diddley at Houston's prized venue, Rockerfeller's. That same night, Hamilton Loomis jammed with Bo Diddley on stage. Later on, Bo performed on two of Hamilton's albums. Bo's being a mentor and supporter meant so much, but it was their friendship that Hamilton holds in highest regard. The Loomis' named their son Bo as a tribute. As he was helped musically, Hamilton made it
