Canned Heat Legendary Drummer 'Fito' De La Parra Exclusive on Interviewing the Legends!

Hello once again everyone I’m your host Ray Shasho and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends.

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 in 1969.

Now, more than fifty years later and with forty albums to their credit, Canned Heat is still going strong. They have been anchored throughout the past fifty-three years by the steady hand of drummer/band leader and historian, Adolfo “Fito” de la Parra.

Fito has also written a book "LIVING THE BLUES" with his personal story and Canned Heat's, available on the band's website cannedheatmusic.com, Amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com.

As "Keeper of the Flame" he has remained the band leader, rhythmic and spiritual force behind Canned Heat's music for over four decades.

Canned Heat remains committed to delighting their fans with creativity and musical energy as they continue to play “live” throughout the U.S. and around the world.

Please welcome the legendary drummer for CANNED HEAT …ADOLFO “FITO” DE LA PARRA to Interviewing the Legends …
