 Hunter began his professional career at sixteen in the great folk tradition of Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he played local spots, including the venerable Club 47 and Unicorn coffeehouses, toured the College Coffeehouse Circuit, headlined Greenwich Village’s Bitter End, opened for touring pros such as Bonnie Raitt and recorded several solo albums for Columbia Records, where he worked with legendary producer John Hammond. During these years Hunter also served as Leonard Bernstein’s music and television liaison at PBS Television for Bernstein’s highly-acclaimed eight-week Harvard University Norton Lecture series. At PBS Hunter scored for television, hosted his own nationwide radio show on NPR, and became a featured vocalist on the WGBH-TV Jazz Show. Since moving to L. A. Hunter has landed spots in film and TV, including La Bamba, Alien Nation, The Last Big Attraction and 7th Heaven. Hunter has just released One Last Chance, his first album in several years. |
