Erin Harpe Country Blues Duo

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13
7:30–9:30PM
Erin Harpe Country Blues Duo has been called “today’s country blues at its very best” by America’s oldest blues periodical Living Blues Magazine, who crowned Erin “one of the finest fingerpicking acoustic blues singers in the land!” A passionate purveyor of the vintage country blues and roots music she was brought up on, Erin has quickly become considered one of the premier acoustic blues pickers in the world today. Her international fanbase got a big boost recently, since she started posting her Fingerstyle Friday video series, the most popular of which surpassed 264K views in two months on Facebook. The duo features Erin on acoustic guitars, vocals, kazoo, and foot percussion, with her husband, Jim Countryman, on ukulele bass and backing vocals. The pair’s foot-stomping back-porch blues transports the audience to the delta, with catchy and danceable vintage classics. The act has been a hit everywhere from intimate venues to blues festivals, from the US to the UK and EU, to rum bars in Jamaica!
