Mike Huffman :: Hammond B-3 Keyboards

Mike Alan Huffman, a.k.a. "Mike Magic" and "Sammy Fingers," began his musical life at age 12 playing the drums. By 14 he was introduced in the Toledo music scene filling in for a drummer in a local classic rock band. He continued sitting in until he went to a drum clinic by Steve Smith. A Hammond B-3 organ sat on the side of the stage and Alan was irresistably drawn to it. Soon afterwards, he taught himself to play piano and became the piano player for his high school jazz band. He eventually joined up with Josh Boyd and the VIP Band in Toledo, Ohio and placed 1st in the regional blues competition which led to opening performances for national acts such as Grand Funk Railroad, Bad Company, and Cheap Trick.

When SwampdaWamp went looking for a new B-3 player, Mike impressed with his quick study, fast fingers, improv ability, and performance flair.

"Working with Swampdawamp is one of the most righteous things that has ever happened to me. I feel as if I've known these cats forever. Good, tasty rock music is making a huge come back and I'm thrilled to be a part of that."
