Meet The Curse of K.K. Hammond, the spooky resonator blues connoisseur who prefers modern guitars and gives them names like “Hell’s Belle” and “Swamp Bitch”

The Curse of K.K. Hammond

In the darkest depths of one of England’s many ‘shires resides a slide blues guitarist and self-confessed “resonator obsessive” who goes by the name The Curse of K.K. Hammond. 

Transfixed at a young age by the haunting beauty of the now almost century-old recordings left behind by the likes of Skip James, Robert Johnson and Blind Willie Johnson, her passion for the craft has long since become a way of life. Beavering away in near-solitude, she spends her days cooking up a unique brand of quirky, horror-infused blues with an exceedingly drool-worthy collection of resos for company.
