K.K. Hammond is a slide guitarist and singer-songwriter. She takes her influence from the Delta Blues players of the 1930s, the roots music of Appalachia and its ancestors.
K.K's debut single, The Ballad of Blue Docherty - which channeled the vibe of the swamp - was well received, and garnered airplay on the Cerys Matthews BBC Radio 2 Blues Show. Her new single, a version of the 19th Century folk song, In The Pines, was released on March 12th receiving airplay on a multitude of Blues radio shows internationally, and critical acclaim.
London born, K.K. took an interest in guitar, Americana and the Blues from an early age and spent some years exploring the back roads of the USA. Eventually she settled in the English Countryside, where she works with horses. A self-professed hermit living in an isolated spot in the woods, K.K. enjoys exploring the wilderness surrounding her home to seek inspiration for her song writing.
K.K has a passion for Resonator Guitars and is known for her highly customised, one-of-a-kind, steel National Resophonic guitar “Dark Sister.” She is also a huge fan of Mule Resophonic Guitars and proudly plays a steel tricone she calls "Swamp Bitch" and a Mulecaster hollow Steel body electric dubbed "Chainsaw."
