Founded in 1966, Canned Heat rose to fame because their knowledge and love of blues music was both wide and deep. Canned Heat attained three worldwide hits with their rock anthems “On The Road Again,” “Going Up The Country,” and “Let’s Work Together.”. They secured their niche in rock ‘n roll history with their performances at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival and a headlining slot at the original Woodstock Festival.
Now, more than fifty years and forty albums later – despite the untimely deaths of original members Bob Hite, Alan Wilson, Henry Vestine and Larry Taylor – Canned Heat is still going strong.
For the past ten years, legendary, origional drummer Adolfo “Fito” de la Parra has been with Dale Spalding on harmonica, guitar and lead vocals, and John “JP” Paulus on lead guitar and vocals. For the past two years, they have been joined by bassist Rick Reed. Canned Heat remains committed to delighting their fans around the world as they continue to record and tour throughout the U.S. and around the world.
