St. Louis area flat-picking giant Bull Harmon is recovering from a heart attack he suffered last Sunday at his home.

According to his wife Tammy, who also plays bass in Harmon’s band Bull’s Eye, doctors discovered “two critical blocked arteries in his heart.” A medical team placed two stents in the blocked vessels.

Harmon played guitar for Rhonda Vincent and the Rage fom 1996-1999 and has released two solo projects, “Bull’s Eye” and “Rosewood, Spruce & Ebony”.

A popular workshop instructor, he won the Midwest SPBGMA Award for Guitar Player of the Year in 2004, 2006 and 2007.

Bull Harmon and his wife host a popular weekend workshop known as St. Louis Flatpick, which is a guitar-focused weekend featuring professional instructors. It’s held on the second weekend in March.
