Teacher Bio
Erin Harpe is a highly-regarded fingerstyle acoustic blues guitar player and teacher, who grew up learning the blues at an early age from her dad, Neil Harpe. 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 guitarists in the world today.
Guitar Workshops
Erin has taught workshops in the US (including the Augusta Heritage Center’s Blues & Swing Week) and Europe. She teaches a range of workshops, from beginning finger-style blues to Delta and Piedmont blues styles.
Erin also specializes in women of the acoustic blues, including her workshop “Queen of the Delta Blues: Memphis Minnie”. If you’re interested in booking Erin to teach a workshop, she would be happy to send you some additional information so we can put together a workshop that fits your needs.
Erin has also released an instructional video through Stefan Grossman’s Guitar Workshop, entitled Women of the Country Blues.
“I attended a Workshop run by Erin. She has a relaxed teaching style and was really patient & helpful to all students. I enjoyed her lesson & bought her DVD. I've changed my playing afterwards. Thank you Erin for your help!”
— Steve from Douglas, Isle of Man
