Item Description

Catfish on stage is like a twelve gauge shotgun of emotion going off!– Rolling Stone Magazine

Catfish has been called an “American folk blues hero” and has been a mainstay on the American Blues music scene for three decades now! He has twenty four albums to his credit, comprised almost totally of original material. His first album of children’s songs “Adventures at Catfish Pond,” on Music for Little People label was released in May of 1996. The album won the NAPA Golden Award as best children’s music of 1996.

You are bidding on 2 signed CDs, his 2006 release, "Communication," and  his 2002 release “Let’s Eat,” a best of collection of his best known food songs--of which there are many!

Catfish found his calling early on. While growing up in Detroit, he was sneaking into Motown Records Hitsville studio to catch the Four tops and the Supremes and grooving to R&B and Blues while his contemporaries gravitated to the Beatles. In the late 1960’s he formed the Catfish Band and led them out of Detroit into national prominence.

In 1982 Catfish headed west to California where he lived for the next 17 years. Along with Paul Barrere he formed the Bluesbusters in 1984. They recorded two albums for Landslide Records and toured for many years, until Little Feat was reformed in the late 1980′s. Today Catfish Hodge lives in Santa Fe and after thirty five years on the road and twenty four albums having been released, he is still electrifying music fans with his powerful and spiritual style of original music!

Since moving to Santa Fe, he has twice been interviewed by Mary Oishi and performed live in the studio on KUNM's Blues Show.
