Harper November 21, 2012

Part harmonica virtuoso and part rhythmic explorer, Harper is a fiery artist-singer/songwriter who blurs the lines between blues, soul, rock and world music. His latest Blind Pig release, 'Stand Together' (2010) is the most artistically realized CD Harper has ever written. By combining traditional and modern influences, borowing from Western and Aboriginal music, Harper has created a highly original take on the roots genre which many have labeled "World Blues." His innovative use of electronic enhancement and feedback breaks the traditional boundaries of the harmonica, giving his music its distinctive harmonics and effects. The powerful guitar sounds and the unique drone of the didgeridoo create raw yet eerie sonic textures, somehow sounding primal and contemporary at the same time
