In the Big Easy, Hunter has headlined at Tipitina's, House of Blues, Snug Harbor, Essence Music Fest, and performed at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival for eight consecutive years.
Nationally and internationally, he performed as one of the headliners for the Bob Marley Festival Tour for five years, and at Reggae Sun Splash in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
After being diagnosed with epilepsy, Hunter dropped out of music a decade ago. Now fully recovered, seizure-free, and having overcome one of his biggest life challenges, Hunter brings forth a new New Orleans sound and deeper life perspective.
