When you talk about the Blues, the harmonica is one of its cornerstones - a key element of the entire scene.Playing blues harp is like a sorcerer's art - it takes a little attitude, a little improvisation - and a dash of mumbo jumbo!
For 36 years, we have been celebrating the giants of the genre, and this year is our biggest and brightest yet:
Explore the universe of the blues harp with top players like Rod Piazza & the Mighty Flyers, Kim Wilson from the Fabulous Thunderbirds, the Mercedes Moore band featuring Dennis Gruenling and Laura Chavez, plus the ageless Billy Watson teaming up with the young Shy But Flyy.
To top off these amazing Thanksgiving Eve performances, we have a Tribute to Little Walter. It stars the Memphis Kings together with harp talents like R.J. Mishco, Eric Von Herzen and Little A.
For the first time, our Battle of the Blues Harp lineup includes several female artists: San Diego's Mercedes Moore will be our emcee for the evening and fronts her own all-star band; talented Shy But Flyy brings her strong soulful voice to the show, and Honey Piazza returns as pianist for the Mighty Flyers.
Help us make harmonica history, from the 1947 beginnings of Little Walter - all the way to 2024 - with today's top cats.
