Louis Myers
b. 18 September 1929, Byhalis, Mississippi, USA. Growing up in a musical family, Myers began playing harmonica at the age of eight, and guitar about two years later. He moved to Chicago in 1941 and played with Big Boy Spires for three years. With his brother Dave Myers, Junior Wells and later, drummer Fred Below, he formed the Aces and in the '50s became known for his light, jazzy and swinging guitar blues artists (including some years with the re-formed Aces) and his own material has appeared on the Abco, Advent, and JSP labels. Although he is primarily known for his fluent guitar work, he can also be an impressive harmonica player in the modern amplified style.
