Canned Heat is a boogie, blues and rock band from Los Angeles, California. The group built their early success playing various rock and blues festivals during the mid and late 1960s.

Canned Heat was formed in 1966 by Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson and Bob "The Bear" Hite. Using their knowledge and appreciation for the blues, they sought to modernize the works of older blues musicians such as Muddy Waters, Slim Harpo, Henry Thomas and Floyd Jones.Telluride Blues: Canned Heatallmusic: Canned Heat Bio
