The Mighty Hannibal

About Me

COMING SOON: A New CD with Dee Dee Gartrell. Watch this space!

The Mighty Hannibal is a native of the Vine City neighborhood, just a few blocks west of Downtown Atlanta. With 27 singles dating as far back as 1958, Hannibal is one of Atlanta's most prolific soul artists. His close ties to other prominent Atlanta soul artists such as Hermon Hitson, Freddie Terrell, Grover Mitchell, Tee Fletcher and others only prove further that Hannibal was not only a top shelf artist but songwriter, producer and mentor as well. Since the 2001 release of Norton Records "Hannibalism" retrospective, Hannibal (now living in New York) has again started performing and has played along side Archie Bell, The Dansettes (sometimes his backing band), The Fabulous Soul Shakers, Nathaniel Mayer, Andre Williams, King Coleman, Bettye LaVette, Lonnie Youngblood and others.
