Erin Harpe & Jim CountrymanDirect from the USA, Erin and Jim take us back to the likes of Memphis Minnie and the Jug Bands era......Yowza, yowza, yowza!
Erin Harpe has been called “one of the most dynamic, talented and exciting roots-rocking blues women on the scene” by Living Blues Magazine. The singer, songwriter, guitarist, and band leader was recently named New England’s “Blues Artist of the Year”.
Once described as “Bonnie Raitt on modern performance enhancing drugs” for her work with her award-winning electric blues band Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers, more recently Erin has been gaining attention as a celebrated acoustic guitarist and purveyor of 1920's and 30's finger-style country blues. Erin grew up learning the style from her dad, Neil Harpe, and watching local Piedmont blues luminaries such as John Cephas & Phil Wiggins, Archie Edwards, John Jackson, Eleanor Ellis, and Warner Williams, at Washington DC’s famed Archie’s Barbershop.
““Country blues at its very best... one of the finest fingerpicking acoustic blues singers in the land””
— Frank Matheis, Living Blues Magazine
““Acoustic blues mastery that is seldom found these days!””
— Iain Patience, Bluestown Music NL
