Harvey Mandel

Harvey "The Snake" Mandel is a legendary guitarist whose liquid fretboard moves and innovative techniques have shaped rock, blues, and psychedelic music since the 1960s. Born in Detroit and raised in Chicago's blues scene, this self-taught wizard earned his serpentine nickname through hypnotic, twisting guitar lines heard on classics like his 1968 solo debut *Cristo Redentor*. A sought-after sideman, he's played with everyone from Canned Heat (appearing at Woodstock) to the Rolling Stones (contributing to their 1976 album *Black and Blue*). Still slithering strong in recent years, Mandel's 2024 remastered *Twist City* and live recordings like *Live At Broadway Studios* showcase his enduring ability to fuse blues grit with spacey, exploratory tones – proof that true guitar innovation never goes out of style.
