Timeline
Martin J. Sammon (October 14, 1977 – October 15, 2022) was an American blues keyboardist.
He was recognized for his energetic performances, improvisation and mastery of traditional styles (ragtime and blues), having established himself as an ambassador of Chicago blues with appearances on several commercially distributed DVDs, television shows (US and in Europe) and Grammy Award-winning albums.
He competed in contests, including the World Championship Old-Time Piano Players (winning championships in 1994 and 1995).
At the age of 15, he began playing on the Chicago blues scene with the South Side guitarist L.V. Banks.
He was under age and was driven to venues by his father.
Sammon began receiving calls to play with many Chicago artists, including Phil Guy.
He performed and toured with Guy and other blues musicians for years, while also performing headlining gigs, including a tour in Latvia.
The turning point of his career came when he played with Guy at the original Checkerboard Lounge during the weekend of the Chicago Blues Festival.
After five years with Otis Rush, in which he played on Rush's 2003 DVD, Live Part One, and on Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: A Musical Journey (which won Grammy Awards for Best Historical Album and Best Album Notes) - Godfathers and Sons, Sammon was contacted by Phil Guy: "It was late night and I was home when the phone rang. I didn't know the number so I ignored it. My brother Mike convinced me to answer saying that 'that could be THE call!' It was Phil Guy saying that I had the Buddy gig and, by the way, Y'all leave Thursday. I'll be forever grateful to Phil and to my bro for that!"
Sammon performed worldwide with Buddy Guy and as an opening act with his own ensemble, the Marty Sammon Band.
He contributed to Guy's sixth Grammy Award–winning album, Living Proof.
He also recorded releases under his own name and performed at schools and universities to promote the blues and music career development education.
His book Blues Keyboard Method, with a foreword by Chuck Leavell, of the Rolling Stones, was published by Hal Leonard in 2015.
Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, in a family with Irish heritage, Sammon began learning to play the piano as a young child.
He learned traditional Irish folk songs by ear while listening to records with his father, Martin Sammon Sr., a Chicago police officer.
His parents realized that their son was a prodigy son with an ear for music and encouraged him to take piano lessons.
He enjoyed the experience but also developed his musical ear by listening to many styles of music.
In September 2015, Sammon made an uncredited appearance on the television program Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, in the episode "Delicious Destinations—Milwaukee".
On October 14, 2015, Sammon performed with Buddy Guy and Tom Hambridge at the White House for "A Celebration of American Creativity: In Performance at the White House", commemorating the 50th anniversary of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Sammon's influences included Peter Sliwka, Dr. John, Scott Joplin, Professor Longhair, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Otis Spann, Pinetop Perkins, Ray Charles, Eubie Blake, Fats Waller, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Curtis Mayfield, and Bruce Hornsby.
Sammon died on October 15, 2022, at the age of 45.
