Rated one of Washington's top jazz and blues musicians by the Washington Post, harmonica player Henry Chung has taken Hong Kong by storm since his return in September 2006. With seven sold-out shows under his belt, Chung has emerged as Hong Kong's premier blues harmonica player and bandleader. In the US, Chung was a member of Bob Margolin's (Muddy Waters' lead guitarist) All Star Revue, performed with Grammy Honorary recipient Pinetop Perkins, Grammy winners Joe Louis Walker and Tab Benoit, Blues Award nominees Deanna Bogart and Big Joe Maher, and was a regular member of the Clarence Turner Blues Band and Jesse James Johnson (Bo Diddley's bassist) & The Raiders.
In Hong Kong, Chung performed with Blues Award nominee Mitch Woods at Grappa's Cellar, Canadian vocalist Genevieve Marentette, and has led his own band to full houses at the Fringe Club and Grappa's Cellar.
At Le Rideau, Chung will appear with Ram Cheung on guitar, Jason Cheng on piano, Ah Hong on bass and Joel Haggard on drums.
