New Members
Erin Harpe Country Blues Duo
10/15/2022 (Ballroom)
Guitarist/singer/songwriter Erin Harpe has been compared to legendary blues women like Bonnie Raitt and Rory Block. Living Blues Magazine called her “one of the most dynamic, talented and exciting roots rocking blues women on the scene”, and the Midwest Record dubbed her “Bonnie Raitt on modern performance enhancing drugs!”
Recently named New England’s “Blues Artist of the Year,” Erin gets back to her roots in the acoustic blues for her new Country Blues Duo (a.k.a. “CBD”) with longtime partner/bassist Jim Countryman. Appropriately nicknamed “shit-kicking blues” on a recent UK tour, they create a very full, danceable and engaging sound with their down-home duo, which features Erin on acoustic guitar, vocals, kazoo & foot percussion, and Jim on ukulele bass and backing vocals. Their energetic performances transport the audience to the Delta, with vintage classics by the likes of Memphis Minnie, Mississippi John Hurt, Tommy Johnson and Blind Blake – elevated by Erin's own interpretations – and mixed in seamlessly with original compositions and country blues takes on popular songs.
The duo's latest release, “Meet Me in the Middle” (2020 VizzTone) was recorded in the couple’s home studio while in quarantine during the pandemic and has gotten rave reviews.
“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
