Sam Hurrie has been playing blues and roots music for 40 years. With his highschool friend, Eugene Smith, Sam started out playing the Yorkville scene in the late 60's. He then moved to New York to record for A&M Records. Sam was fortunate enough to jam with some of the greats of the period, including Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Miles. Opening for his idol Muddy Waters at New York's Electric Circus, however, was a thrill of a lifetime for Sam Hurrie. In the 1970s, Sam moved with his family to the Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, B.C. and played with many -- including partnering for a while with Doug Cox. In 2007, he moved back to Ontario. He is now based in Port Stanley, Ontario. Canada Live caught up with Sam Hurrie at the Vancouver Island MusicFest in July of 2009 and recorded his performance.
