<p>Gotta love that crisp October air, and the leaves here in New England starting to change!</p>
<p>I hope this note finds you well – my quick little monthly update! Jim and I just got back from a fun tour to my homelands of Maryland and Virginia, where I got back to my roots in the Piedmont Blues, and fit in some family visits as well. In the studio, I’ve been working on my next album – a tribute to Mississippi John Hurt – which, for those of you guitar players, will be accompanied by a book of tablature! More on that soon...</p>
<p>This month, we’re looking forward to playing a few more outdoor shows with the Country Blues Duo, as well as appearances with the Delta Swingers in Boston and Springfield MA! Check out my show listing below, and hope to see some of you who are in the Northeast! (And don’t miss my contest below if you’d like to go to the Ganja Grail this weekend in Maine!)</p>

<p>Happy Labor Day weekend! Wow, August really flew by, didn’t it? So many fun shows and festivals – including Delta Swingers mini-tour with a double-header on August 19th (an 11am set at the White Mountain Boogie & Blues Festival in NH, then a 4:30pm set at Stafford Springs Blues Festival in CT!). I was a little nervous about pulling it off (with 3 hours of driving in between), but we did it! Then we headed west, to Utica NY, for a fun Monday night concert series. <i>Scroll down for more fun pics!</i> (Our friend Don Cirone also posted a little Boogie vid, watch <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/1540174934/videos/t.1450770114/6607167036013517" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.) We got wonderful comments from fans and great responses everywhere! It was a really good time, and the band killed it – big props going out to our drummer (and fellow Virgo bday boy) Shawn Meehan, our “new Swinger” Bobby Mroz (who added a whole new dimension on keyboards and harp), and to Jim Countryman for not only rocking the bass and singing harmonies(!), but taking care of so many logistics to make sure everything went off without a hitch. Also to those of us who drove like bats out of hell and didn‘t even stop to pee (sorry passengers, LOL)!</p>
<p>My birthday was also very nice. <i>THANK YOU for all the birthday messages!</i> It was great to get so many, from all over – it really brightened my day. A few highlights: this yummy black forest bday cake, and a really good visit from my mom! It was great to see some friends at Red Lentil, too! I‘m feeling very grateful to have so many friends and family that support my music, and allow me to continue doing what I love. Thanks!</p>

There are plenty of chances to see us in New England and beyond – check out my schedule below to see upcoming dates in Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Maryland and Virginia. Festival season isn‘t over yet, either! This weekend the Delta Swingers will be headlining the <strong>Blues, Brews & BBQ Fest</strong> at Stratton Mountain VT, and later this month the Country Blues Duo returns to the <strong>John Jackson Piedmont Blues Festival</strong> in VA, and also Lovewhip comes to the <strong>Big E</strong> in Springfield MA! Tickets and details below, hope to see you if you‘re nearby.</p>
<p>This month I‘ll also be working on my next album, or I guess I could call it a “project”, because it has several facets. It‘s all very exciting – I‘ll share more about it soon!</p>
<p><br>Love & kazoos! 🎉</p>

It was great to get out the electrics and play with the boys, including new guy Bobby Mroz on harp and piano who killed it. Thanks to all who came out (and danced!)! Our good friend Frank T. Walsh captured the fun and created some really cool images – I'm including a few of my favorites including me and Jim’s new move, LOL! You can also check out a few video clips from the show posted on our <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/ErinHarpe.Music" target="_blank" data-link-type="url" contents="FaceBook page">FaceBook page</a> (scroll down on the page).</p><p>This month I’m looking forward to being home for a moment, working on some new music in the studio, before Jim and I head out for a couple gigs including a Mississippi John Hurt tribute concert and fundraiser at the legendary Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs. By the way, you can attend this very special show in person or streaming online. Read on to find out how you can join us!</p><p>Check out our upcoming show schedule below, besides NY we’ll also be in NH, and then back in the Boston area for a couple cool shows at the beginning of May. All the details and ticket links are below.</p><p>Lots more exciting announcements coming soon about our summer schedule, UK tour, and more, so stay tuned!</p><p><span class="text-big"

<p><span class="font_small">Saturday 2/4 was Jim's birthday, so we celebrated with a CBD show on the coldest day of the year (it was -8 when we left) at The Porch in Medford. Thanks to so many of you for braving the cold – it was great seeing everyone! BIG thanks to our special guests: our good friend Eddie Scheer (Jim's bday twin) joined us on washboard, percussion & kazoo & our new friend Bobby Mroz came down and blew some harp. It was a wonderful afternoon (and we were so happy we didn't have to cancel due to the weather, LOL!). <em>Photo by our pal John Brauchler (of One Dime Band).</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#660066;"><span class="font_large"><strong>Is it February already?!</strong></span></span></p>
<p>Why do I feel like it’s still the very beginning of the year? Maybe it’s because Jim and I spent most of January getting ready for the International Blues Challenge... Well we’re glad we did – our performances went very well – and we made it to the Semi-Finals! We took our duo performance to a new level – and we felt the love from the crowd in Memphis. It was a great trip, read all about it and see pictures in my <a contents="Memphis IBC Wrap-Up" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://erinharpe.com/blogs/erin-s-blog--2/posts/7149803/memphis-ibc-wrap-up" target="_blank">Memphis IBC Wrap-Up</a>!</p>
<p>We carried all that energy & excitement home with us, along with a few new songs & ideas – and we’re looking forward to sharing them with you at our upcoming shows, and on our next recording!</p>
<p>We’ve got lots of things to look forward to this year – I shared just a few below, and I look forward to sharing more soon. Thanks for coming along on this musical journey with me!</p>

Memphis IBC Wrap-Up!
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/627628f65551ba15009296c1c2fcdc62ef41d891/original/byilanakatz.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span class="font_small">Photo by Ilana Katz Katz.</span></em></p>
<p>Let me start out by saying that no matter how far we got in the International Blues Challenge “competition”, we’ve been having a wonderful time here in Memphis, and we’ve been so floored by the amount of love and support you’ve all given us! THANK YOU!!! </p>
<p>As you may have guessed by our silence last night, we did not make it to the Finals. (Too bad, it would have been fun to be on the big stage at the Orpheum!) We were at the VizzTone showcase at around 1am when we found out, surrounded by our blues family and supporters, lots of love everywhere. Then we went home to our hotel and got some much needed rest. Luckily Beale Street stayed quiet despite the stuff we all heard in the news. We love Memphis and are very thankful to The Blues Foundation for putting on this event. This was our 6th and final time at the IBC (that is the limit). Jim Countryman and I have done it 3 times with our band the Delta Swingers, who made it to the Semi-Finals twice – including our very first time in 2011! I have also competed as a duo with Richard Rosenblatt on harp, and solo in 2019 – and made it to the Semi-Finals both times! That’s 5 out of 6 times a Semi-Finalist – it’s is a huge accomplishment, that I feel very proud of. It’s helped my career – and my art – each time I’ve come here, even though it is always hard to get “knocked out”. As they say, “we’re all winners”! </p>
<p>We have so much gratitude and want to say thank you to everyone who has supported us leading up to this, and throughout the week. We want to thank the Granite State Blues Society for all their love and support! The GSBS ladies have been just so great – Sharlene Hammond Labore and Debbie Meaderson were at every IBC set cheering us on, as they have done for many months leading up to this. We love you guys, and have loved hanging out this week! (Shout out to Rachael Barnard, wish you were here!) Also big thanks to our label VizzTone Label Group – Richard Rosenblatt, Amy Brat BratGirlmedia, Bob Margolin, and all our brother and sister musicians we got to watch and share the stage with this week (and will again tonight!). <a contents="Check out my “Friends in Memphis” photo album for some fun snapshots!&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.716168579912196&type=3" target="_blank">Check out my “Friends in Memphis” photo album for some fun snapshots! </a></p>
<p>I want to send a HUGE THANK YOU you to everyone who supported our GoFundMe! (We would have had to hitchhike down and camp otherwise, LOL!) We made our goal BTW!! It means so much to us that you believe in us, and enjoy our music and what we do enough to contribute to our cause! You all are our family too, a big part of why we do what we do! </p>
<p>Speaking of family, we couldn’t have done this without the love & support of our family. Big thanks especially to our parents for their contributions (monetary and genetic, LOL)! We love you!!! </p>
<p>To all our fans who came to see us in Memphis, you guys are so awesome!!! To look out every night and see your faces made us so happy and loved! And we know it’s not easy to run around and not miss someone’s set! While hanging out at our venue for countless hours waiting to go on (you have to have a representative at the venue until you play), Jim and I were able to switch off and catch sets by our New England pals Frankie Boy & The Blues Express, The Matt Swanton Band, and the One Dime Band. Shout out to all the great acts we met and watched from all over the country and even the world (Amsterdam, Australia, France)! We also want to thank all the new fans we met for the first time – for all the nice things you said after our sets, and while passing us out on the street on Beale Street. Hope to see some of you one last time tonight – we’ll be playing a few songs again at VizzTone showcase at the Rum Boogie! It starts at 10pm. </p>
<p>Jim and I are both really proud of our performances, and of all the work we put into them over the last month or so. We’ve had to think about how to take our show to a whole other level – and I feel we did! And we got a very positive response here in Memphis from everyone from fans of all ages to musicians to people in the industry – pretty much everyone we met. I can’t wait to share that with each of you next time we see you at a show. </p>
<p>We’re excited to have another day to explore Memphis, and when we get home we’ve got so many things to be excited about, coming up this year! I can't wait to finally get to working on a new recording – a lot of what we worked on will be going into that too! We’re also working on a some very cool tour plans – more on that soon… Love you and thanks for reading!</p>

Happy New Year! 2022 highlights and what’s coming up in 2023!
<p><em><span class="font_small"><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/46c84565487c7290a784b0c8f1b8a6caa238901d/original/picframe-photo-4.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" />A special thanks to all the amazing photographers who shared their talents with us this year, and helped us share these moments with you! Above photos are from Frank Matheis at the John Jackson Piedmont Blues Fest, Nate Dow at the White Mtn. Boogie, Ellen Snyder at the Burren and Heatherfest, Mike O'Brien at Blues On The Chippewa, and Peter D'Amour at the Brickhouse.</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color:#8e44ad;"><span class="font_large"><strong>Happy New Year!</strong></span></span></p>
<p>2022 turned out to be pretty cool. We played quite a few in person shows (over 100!), in some very interesting places — on a moving train, at a county fair/rodeo (my first!), at a farm with cows in attendance, on a pier in front of the Chicago skyline, next to the Bluesmobile in Wisconsin just upstream from the Mississippi. We played some really fantastic festivals, and worked with some great musicians. I did a finger style guitar workshop for the Boston’s chapter of the Guitar League, was nominated for Blues Artist of the Year from the New England Music Awards, and Jim and I won the Granite State Blues Challenge with our Country Blues Duo, so we’ll be going to Memphis in a few weeks for the International Blues Challenge (IBC)! I’ve put together some highlights and heartfelt appreciations below, and let me also say thanks to YOU for all your support!</p>
<p>This month is all about preparing for the IBC — Jim and I are working around the clock to put together a really powerful set for the competition, and we’ll be sharing it with you exclusively at our<b> Road To Memphis fundraiser concerts</b> on Zoom, coming up <b>1/19 </b>and<b> 1/22</b>!</p>

Plus another rockin’ shot of me and Jim on stage the Boogie by Orah Moore.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_xl"><b><span style="color:#8e44ad;">2022 Highlights!</span></b></span></p>
<p>It was a busy year — we played over 100 <em>in person</em> shows all over the country, including a whopping 12 festivals! Appearances included Blues on the Chippewa, the White Mountain Boogie & Blues Fest, the John Jackson Piedmont Blues Festival, the Rose Arts Festival, Musikfest, the Bondville Fair, Heatherfest, the Midland Country Fair, Stratton Mtn. Blues, Brews & BBQ Fest, plus Lovewhip played the Wake Up the Earth Festival, the Jamaica Plain Music Festival, and Harry Brown’s Farm!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>BIG THANKS...</b></p>
<p>To all the festivals & venues that work so hard to promote original live music!! To the fans, friends & family that came to see us live, and support us, we couldn’t do this without you. To all the musicians we got to play with with including my dad Neil Harpe, Danielle Miraglia, Phil Wiggins, Rick Franklin, Anthony Geraci, Barrett Anderson, Paul Loranger, Kurt Kalker, John Vanderpool, James Montgomery, Willie Laws, Cheryl Arena, Eddie Scheer, Frankie Boy & the Blues Express... I’m sure I’m forgetting a few…</p>
<p>I feel incredibly lucky to continue to get to work with a great group of talented people. Big thanks to musicians Jim Countryman, Shawn Meehan, Jason Novak, and special guests Nancy Loedy, Shane Sager, Bob Stannard, Michael “Harpo” Kirick, Bob Mackenzie, Dave Kocses, and Joe Filisko for being part of the band(s) this year! And for all the work that gets done behind the scenes, Jim and I are fortunate to have a growing team helping us — much gratitude to Phil and Sue at Simon Says Booking, and to our new team members Kasey Kelly Allen and Wes Allen, and to our friends at the Granite State Blues Society!</p>
<p>It was also really cool to hang out, meet, and share the stage with some amazing musicians like Davina (AND the Vagabonds), Reverend Peyton & Washboard Breezy, Bernard Allison, Joyann Parker, Ana Popovic, and so many others. And it was a treat to get to see lots of friends — Donna Herula, Roy Bookbinder, Frank Matheis, Veronica Lewis, Pat Pepin, Ilana Katz, and Ben Levin, and to meet so many new friends (too many to count!)!</p>
<p>That last pic is from last January, when I was honored to receive my first handmade custom guitar from Steve Chilvers of Holy Grail Guitars, named “The Empress” (after me, of course)!</p>
<p>We are feeling the love, and hope you do too!</p>

<h3>Help us get to Memphis for the International Blues Challenge!</h3>
<p>This year we won the <strong>Granite State Blues Challenge</strong> with our <strong>Country Blues Duo</strong> (or “CBD”) in the Solo/Duo category! So that means we’ll be headed to Memphis this January for the <strong>2023</strong> <strong>International Blues Challenge</strong> (or “IBC”)! We’re excited to bring our music to the international stage – but it ain’t free! There are considerable costs involved (like gas & tolls, lodging, etc.), so we’re asking for a little help from our friends. If you’d like to make a donation (any amount is appreciated!), please check out our <a contents="GoFundMe" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://gofund.me/16ad1a93" target="_blank">GoFundMe</a> page at the link below – it’s got more info about the IBC, and our upcoming trip – and THANKS! </p>

<p>Wow, when did summer end? Somehow we missed it! Summer 2022 sure was a very busy one, and I’m still amazed when I look back on the last few months. Jim and I have been all the way out to Wisconsin and Minnesota, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, all over New England, down to Maryland & Virginia, all the way out to west Texas, and everywhere in between! It’s been a whirlwind, especially compared to the last few years, and we’re very thankful to be able to be on the road again, and to see so many of you out there!</p>
<p>Now we’re back in New England for a while, and it’s Fall! My favorite season – there’s a crispness in the air, the leaves are changing, and the views out the van window are amazing. If <i>you’re</i> in New England, check out our upcoming schedule below – we’ve got some great shows coming up and we’d love to see you! (Catch us while you can, as we’ll be taking a little time off coming up, to get ready for the International Blues Challenge at the end of January!)</p>

<p>Yeehaw! Just got home from Texas!! It feels like we've been almost everywhere in the past few weeks – it's been a whirlwind of fun shows, friends, and sitting in planes and vans, from the east coast to the midwest to west Texas! We played some great festivals, saw some of you, met some really amazing musicians, and logged quite a few miles. Jim and I even went to our first rodeo! (More pics below!)</p>
<p>Coming up we have a busy month, with more festivals and outdoor shows, as well as a <strong>Zoom livestream concert</strong> you can watch from anywhere! The details are below, plus a quick fall preview with ticket links!!</p>
<p>Boogie on, and hope to see you soon!</p>

We talked about my musical roots, background, influences, advice for those starting out, and more interesting tidbits. I think it came out well and is a great read. Here’s a little bit of his introduction, click the link below to read the whole interview! </p>
<p>“Now Erin’s singing is not the usual style you think of when you think of the Blues. But it’s a beautiful sound, which is a pleasure to listen to. Erin can put the emotions into the songs so much that you can get the real feel of the song. On top of being excellent guitarist and an amazing singer, Erin is also a great entertainer. Whether you are at one of her shows to just listen to great music, or to get up on the dance floor and boogie the night away. Erin Harpe is the complete show.”</p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong><a contents="READ THE INTERVIEW" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://notesfromthepurpleapestudios.weebly.com/home" target="_blank">HERE’S THE INTERVIEW</a></strong></span></p>
<hr><p><span class="font_large"><strong>Blues In Britain!</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular"><em>Erin & Neil Harpe: Delta Blues Duets (Juicy juju)</em></span></p>
<p><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/1227cbc3c368b21a6b2b0481fc35a05dbde1dd1f/original/erinharpe-deltabluesduets.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsInNtYWxsIl1d.jpg" class="size_s justify_left border_" />Daughter and father duo Erin and Neil Harpe boast a back catalogue of collective achievements as to be the envy of any blues household. Neil Harpe’s first recordings date back 1972 but his true passion and “day job” is that of collecting and restoring vintage acoustic guitars, especially the niche brands such as Stella and Galiano that were used by the early blues pioneers like Charlie Patton and Willie Brown, becoming an authority on such instruments. Surrounded by such music, it was inevitable that Erin would succumb to the blues, which she has done in a big way and, along with her band The Delta Swingers, has collected many awards and accolades (particularly in her Boston/New England region) in addition to opening for Buddy Guy, James Cotton and ZZ Top.</p>
<p>First released in 2008 but due reappraisal, this set opens with “Bye Bye Blues”, a song written early in the 20th century by “Ragtime” Henry Thomas. This pretty much sets the tone: two acoustic guitars interweaving, along with cleverly arranged vocal harmonies. “Called You This Mornin” sees the duo alternate verses, Erin takes the lead for Memphis Minnie’s “Chauffeur Blues”, “Kokomo Blues” again has Erin to the fore on the Mississippi Fred McDowell number, with deft resonator slides decorating the piece. “Fishin' Blues” sees the pair return to the works of “Ragtime” Henry Thomas, featuring lovely harmonies over the chorus. “In My Girlish Days” sports a set of lyrics containing lots of “down home” references much loved of early blues artists: similarly “Mississippi Delta Blues” nails that familiar acoustic blues style on this Willie Brown number. And there’s the much-covered “Nobody Loves You When You're Down and Out”, the Mississippi Sheiks’ “Stop and Listen Blues” and a closing take on Lonnie Johnson’s “Winnie The Wailer”.</p>
<p>If you’re a fan of acoustic blues then you’ll find this a faultless set of classic songs, nicely sung and matched with equally ornate accompaniment that stays faithful to the original versions. Easier on the ear than those old 78s.</p>

<p><span style="color:#e74c3c;"><span class="font_large"><strong>Hello, it’s March!</strong></span></span></p>
<p>Boy, February just blew by, with barely a moment to come up for air... We were busier than any month over the past two years, and that’s a good thing! We’re very thankful to be getting out playing shows again, now that (it seems like) the pandemic is slowing down, and it’s been great to make some plans and to see some of you in person.</p>
<p>You may have noticed that our livestream concert didn’t happen last month – our schedule was so packed I decided to move it to <strong>Wednesday, March 16th</strong> at 8pm (EST). I hope you can make it! <a contents="Here’s the Facebook event!" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/484719823372779" target="_blank">Here’s the Facebook event!</a></p>

<p><span style="color:#c0392b;"><span class="font_large"><strong>Happy New Year 🎉</strong></span></span></p>
<p>I hope you had a wonderful holiday, and that you’re happy and healthy as we go into the new year! Jim and I are doing well, we were able to visit some family over the holidays, which was really nice since we missed Thanksgiving (damn you, ‘rona!). Fingers crossed that we’ll all be able to see friends and family (and music) more in the new year...</p>
<p>That said, we're still stuggling with the post-holiday Omicron spike here on the East Coast, and it's been affecting live music. We found out yesterday that Friday's Delta Swingers/CBD show at One Longfellow in Portland Maine has been rescheduled for May 6th (if you already bought tix, they'll be good for the new date), and then our Lovewhip and CBD shows were also cancelled (to be rescheduled soon)!</p>
<p>So, the GOOD NEWS is, this <strong>Saturday January 8th</strong> we'll be doing a free <a contents="livestream concert on Facebook" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://fb.me/e/2N0NWa140" target="_blank">livestream concert on Facebook</a> (details are below)! Also listed below are some in-person dates around the Northeast.</p>
<p>🤞</p>
<p>I've also included some 2021 highlights, including some great concert videos of the Delta Swingers live at <strong>WBFO in Buffalo</strong> and on <strong>Don Odell's Legends</strong> TV show that you can watch right now!</p>
<p>Cheers to the new year!</p>

Boston Music Awards “Blues Artist of the Year” Nomination!

<div style="text-align: right;">
<p style="text-align: left;">I wanted to share some more good news, which just seems to keep coming in lately. ;) In the midst of a busy week and weekend of shows, I found out I've been nominated for <strong>“Blues Artist of the Year”</strong> by the <strong>Boston Music Awards</strong>! (The Delta Swingers actually won it back in 2014, but this time it's just little ole’ me.) Anyway, after our recent NEMA “Album of the Year” win, it's a really nice surprise to be nominated again (along with so many talented friends) for a BMA! You made the difference last time, so, I'm hoping for your help again...</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em><span class="font_large">I would love your vote!</span></em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Just like last time, you can help decide the winner – we did it last time with the New England Music Awards... So, if you have a minute, cast your vote! (Thanks! Cross your fingers!!)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span class="font_xl"><em><strong>VOTE NOW AT:</strong></em></span><br><span class="font_xl"><a contents="BostonMusicAwards.com/vote" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://bostonmusicawards.com/vote/" target="_blank"><strong>BostonMusicAwards.com/vote</strong></a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><span class="font_large"><strong>THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your votes & support!</strong></span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Voting ends Friday, December 3rd. And once again, wish me luck, I'll need it!</p>

<p>It's been a busy summer, and we've felt lucky to be out there doing shows again – and finally getting to do some <em>album release parties</em> for MEET ME IN THE MIDDLE! It's been really great to see some of you friends & family in NY, CT, VT, MD & ME – we missed you!! Here we are a couple recent snapshots: above with our friend Harpo, who played harmonica with us at our very fun Delta Swingers show at the Red Square in Burlington, VT recently (photo by Orah Moore); and below is a snap of Lovewhip onstage at Harry Brown's Farm by Sam Davis!</p>

<p>A little more about the fest:</p>
<p><strong>Villa Sessions 2021: Vila do Conde Blues Festival “At Home”</strong></p>
<p>The 5th edition of “Villa Sessions - Vila do Conde Blues Festival” is Online and Free this year! On April 16, 17 and 18 the Blues will be delivered to everyone, from the official website of the Municipality of Vila do Conde in Portugal.</p>
<p>This year the Villa Sessions - Vila do Conde Blues Festival has reinvented itself. Not being able to hold the 5th edition in the usual way, Dream Sessions presents a completely online and free format. The organization intends that this free access allows all interested people to attend the concerts at no cost.</p>
<p>We invited 10 national and international bands to record a showcase/mini-concert dedicated to the festival, in video format. In addition to great music, these documentary videos offer a narrative composed of brief statements, which help to tell the history of the bands, as well as the Villa Sessions - Vila do Conde Blues Festival itself.</p>
<p>During 3 days, 4 sessions will be available on the official page of the Municipality of Vila do Conde (<a href="https://www.cm-viladoconde.pt/?fbclid=IwAR0Z0UbNzyLeeBJ5BynhFwoHj5a7A4NtHRQ_pidfKR1y7lKsIIz-YoUTApI" rel="nofollow noopener" role="link" tabindex="0" target="_blank">https://www.cm-viladoconde.pt</a>), and also on our Facebook page here: <a contents="Villa Sessions – Vila Do Conde Blues Festival" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/villasessionsblues">Villa Sessions – Vila Do Conde Blues Festival</a>.</p>

<p>I'm a cover girl!!! It's a big honor to be gracing the cover of the April 2021 issue of <strong>Sound Waves Magazine</strong>! Thanks to Bill Harriman for a fun interview – and a fabulous article!</p>
<p>“Erin Harpe has a timeless quality about her. Maybe it is her signature look with a flower in her hair and the fishnet stockings, a look that would have worked in any decade over the past century. Or maybe it is her virtuoso finger picking guitar style or the way she can play the slide guitar like some of the recent greats such as Bonnie Raitt or Rory Block. Or maybe it is her beautiful singing voice, especially when she is covering the old-time blues music of Memphis Minnie or Sippie Wallace with a confidence and sass that might remind you of Maria Muldaur. Her style is both endearing and enduring. ...”</p>

Glowing Review in Living Blues Magazine!
<p>More exciting album news: writer Frank Matheis, who is both a friend and a great scholar of the Piedmont blues, has reviewed <em>MEET ME IN THE MIDDLE</em> in the January issue of <strong>Living Blues Magazine</strong>(!!!) – and he has some very nice things to say! (He also co-wrote a fantastic book about “DC's Homemade Blues” with Phil Wiggins called <a contents="Sweet Bitter Blues" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.upress.state.ms.us/Books/S/Sweet-Bitter-Blues"><em>Sweet Bitter Blues</em></a>.) Here's the review, including some background, and his judgement that this album is HOT!</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/e8097972e780839bacaf9ee39295c203b408e65f/original/meetme-livingbluesreview.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_" />From <em>Living Blues</em>:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span class="font_large">“One can play the roots country blues differently, louder or faster, to try to impress and dazzle. But nobody today plays and sings it better.”</span></em></p>
<p>Whatever is going on here is hard to capture in words. It’s genuine, passionate, totally convincing, and outright joyous, a pure listening pleasure, today’s country blues at its very best. Afficianados of the raw, true, and deep acoustic blues can rejoice: Erin Harpe is back and she can sing the tattoos right off your arm. </p>
<p>The acoustic blues is not typically defined as “hot,” and adjective usually reserved for jazz from the early 20th century. Any poor writer destined to review her new CD, Meet Me In The Middle, will have to grapple for descriptive verbiage that does not seem to overly gush accolades, no matter how well-deserved. Words of praise from the usual music critic vocabulary could fit, but none muster it quite perfectly to summarize the album. Old clichés “lightning in a bottle” or “you’ll need a cold shower” would be too easy. “Hot” does it.” </p><!-- more -->
<p>The energetic Boston-based singer-songwriter from Annapolis, Maryland, has played the acoustic blues for her entire life. She got her chops from her virtuoso dad, the roots and blues musician, vintage guitar expert, and Stella guitar guru, Neil Harpe. She learned the blues from childhood on, sitting by the knees of the greats in Archie’s Barbershop, Washington, DC’s epicenter of the Piedmont Blues. She took up alternating bass fingerpicking as a young teenager directly from her dad and from her mentor, Eleanor Ellis. She grew up listening firsthand to John Jackson, Archie Edwards, John Cephas, and Phil Wiggins, all elders who adored her. By now, she is in her absolute prime, one of the finest fingerpicking acoustic blues singers in the land. To find an equivalent, the best comparison would be early Bonnie Raitt, Maria Muldaur, or Eleanor Ellis, if you add a spicy amalgam of Memphis Minnie’s unabashed kickass attitude. There are lots of good guitar players in the acoustic blues and lots of superb singers. Few, if any, can do both as well as Harpe, and even fewer can also write such swinging songs. Like I said, it’s hot! </p>
<p>Her husband, Jim Countryman, recorded this record, which has a cool analog vibe, in their home studio in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, during the pandemic lockdown. He joins her on the ukulele bass, fitting in just fine, smoothly enhancing Erin’s virtuosic guitar picking. Erin plays acoustic guitar, kazoo, and foot percussion. The only bad thing about this record, besides the kazoo, is that you only get ten songs and it will surely leave you wanting for ten more. We get four Erin Harpe originals and a set of covers as an homage to the great blues women of the golden era. The earthy Erin Harpe understands her musical heritage as a woman and she sings as passionately and, well, as “hot” as the best of the greats of bygone days, with her rich and smoky voice. She belts out songs as if to call up the spirits of the blues women of the bygone era. </p>
<p>The sparkling album opens with three Harpe originals, starting with the unabashedly sexually drenched All Night Long. The cold shower metaphor might be useful here after all. Hard Luck Woman showcases both her strong singing and picking. The title cut, Meet Me in the Middle, is a plea for sanity that speaks to our modern-time condition, when all around us there is division, conflict, disagreement, misinformation, and unwillingness to compromise, in politics and even music. Bonne Raitt would be proud, and perhaps a little jealous, to see the next generation also pick up on Sippie Wallace’s Women Be Wise, a song that Raitt made famous. Harpe shows her slide guitar prowess on the famous Rollin’ and Tumblin’. She covers Geeshie Wiley’s Pick Poor Robin Clean, and Memphis Minnie’s What’s the Matter with the Mill, both songs that are favored and often covered by East Coast Piedmont blues musicians. She added the gospel standard When I Lay My Burden Down as a tribute to her recently deceased stepfather. The album closes with a sensitive, hopeful, and beautiful original, One Fine Day (we’ll be together…) </p>
<p>One can play the roots country blues differently, louder or faster, to try to impress and dazzle. But nobody today plays and sings it better. </p>

🎊Thanks you for an amazing year! 2020 Year in Review!!🎊🍾🥂
<h2 dir="ltr">
<span style="color:#c0392b;">🎉</span><span style="color:#c0392b;">Happy New Year to You!🎉</span>
</h2>
<p dir="ltr">I want to thank you very much for being there with us this year! This week, I found myself looking back at this nutty year, a historic one, and I wanted to share my musical year in review with you. A little warning, it's long, but hey, it was a longgg year (and lots happened)!</p>
<p dir="ltr">PS. If you don't have time to read it now, see you <strong>Thursday 12/31 </strong>at 7pm EST for <strong><a contents="Erin &amp; Jim's New Years Eve 2021 Livestream!" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/716883208962406" style="">Erin & Jim's New Years Eve 2021 Livestream!</a>)</strong> </p>
<p dir="ltr">And now, for an interesting read, here are my highlights from the past 12 months...</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/562c3680c03bbb13875332833910551fb88f4338/original/6b892a17-6d79-4f2b-8017-01737a57e86b.jpeg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpeg" class="size_xl justify_center border_" /></h2>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Our 2020 Year In Review!</h2>
<p dir="ltr">2020, what a crazy year, and I’m sure we can all agree – it’s good to see it end! But it wasn’t all bad... Despite the pandemic, the lock-down, and the many other unpleasantnesses including losing all our gigs, we still found ways to continue to make music and create a sense of connectedness and community. We started live streaming (and did over 60 online shows!), we recorded our first CBD album (quarantined at home) – both of which got us wide attention and support all over the world! We look back at the year that was 2020 with a lot of gratitude, some sadness, and a lot of love. Here’s our 2020 Year in Review! </p><!-- more -->
<p dir="ltr"><em>WINTER</em></p>
<p dir="ltr">The year started out pretty normal – besides the benign-seeming Corona beer memes – that all of us ignored! (We didn’t know!) We had quite a few shows with all our groups: Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers, Lovewhip and our new Country Blues Duo.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Some of our winter gig highlights include Delta Swingers shows at Pitman’s Freight Room in Laconia NH, The Porch in Medford MA, One Longfellow Square in Portland ME, the Next Page in Weymouth MA, and the Red Square in Burlington VT. The CBD played the awesome Stomping Ground in Putnam CT, the new Treehouse Brewing in Charleton MA, Strange Brew in Manchester NH, Mount Snow in Vermont on a snowy night, and a couple of local shows at Atwoods in Cambridge, and the Dark Horse in Somerville MA. And Lovewhip had a fun hometown show at the Milky Way in Jamaica Plain MA, a great dance party at Opus Underground in Salem MA, a wintery beach show the Ocean Mist in RI, and a double header at The Rack at Sugarloaf in Maine (with a Lovewhip dance party on Valentine’s Day, followed by a crazy Delta Swingers dance party the next!). That particular weekend, I remember it being very cold, and thinking “It might have been -20 degrees out, but it was HOT on the dancefloor!” Little did we know how much we could miss such nights!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Our last show, unbeknownst to us, was the Delta Swingers at the historic “Theodore’s Blues, Booze & BBQ” in Springfield, MA on March 7th – a super fun night! We were really looking forward to playing a new (for us) local venue, Beat Brewhall on Friday, March 16th, but it never happened. Over the next days we watched as every gig we were looking forward to got canceled, one after another.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><em>SPRING</em></p>
<p dir="ltr">I think at this point everyone was reeling, especially us gig workers. We jumped into action with the first idea we had to stay connected: live-streaming! At first we thought it would be a good idea to go live every day, which we kept up for the first week or so of lockdown. After that, we cut back to every other day, then settled into a twice a week broadcast, which we kept up through September. We named our new show Wi-Five Live (I made a logo and everything!). It was a really great way to connect with everyone, and it gave us something to do besides worrying about the future. We were so thankful for the outpouring of kindness and support we got from our friends, fans and family, sending tips and love. We even got some press, when the Boston Herald highlighted us in an article about the plight of musicians and the new world of livestreaming in the pandemic, with a photo and everything! (Thanks to writer Brett Milano!) We also were fortunate to have the support of Boxford Cable TV, who sponsored us and aired our show live on their station (thanks to our friend Brad Sweet)!</p>
<p dir="ltr">On top of that, I did some teaching. I have had several weekly guitar students on Skype for a while, but on May 16th, I decided to give my first online workshop, “Intro To Country Blues Guitar”, on Zoom! The workshop was quite successful, especially for my first “Zoom”, with 29 students participating from all over (thanks to all who signed up!). I also taught two video courses for Augusta Blues & Swing Week, which was virtual this year like so many other things due to COVID-19. As with live-streaming, there was a learning curve as everything went virtual, but it was a good experience overall, and I’m thankful for all the great feedback I got from my students. The experience got me excited to keep sharing my expertise as a guitarist and second-generation player/torch-carrier of the old-time country blues, and it’s been so fantastic to be able to reach a worldwide audience, virtually through video and workshops, that next year I’ll be launching my online music school, The Erin Harpe Music Academy! Stay tuned for more about that in the coming days!</p>
<p dir="ltr"><em>SUMMER</em></p>
<p dir="ltr">We had a couple of weird pandemic gigs that, though they didn’t actually get canceled, were turned upside down by the Corona virus. The first was July 10th, a farmers market we’ve played before, but the town of Petersham decided live music (even outdoors), was not safe. Thanks to organizer Roy Nilson, who had a great idea so the performers could “retain the booking”, we recorded audio of our set ahead of time, and showed up with our PA, and DJ’ed our set!</p>
<p dir="ltr">July 21st the Delta Swingers played Henniker Concert Series in NH without a hitch, and we were able to play this outdoor show with the band and with an audience (though pandemic-style)! It was the first time we saw an audience cordoned off in socially distanced squares, painted on the grass 6 feet apart. In another new Covid-era development, our merch table went online-only, and we had to put up signs with a link to buy merch.</p>
<p dir="ltr">July 22nd was to be our long-awaited return to the legendary Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs, NY. We were actually quite surprised it wasn’t being canceled, but there was to be a small, socially distanced audience. This was our first time leaving the house overnight since the start of the pandemic! During our trip out, the local rules somehow got changed, and no audience was allowed, so we ended up doing a remote live-stream with just us, and two or three staff in the room.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Also in July, we recorded our new album, Meet Me In The Middle (which coincidentally, I already planned as a duo album long before the pandemic, but hadn’t had a chance to record because of our busy tour schedule). By the summer, we were finally ready to start. It was a strange serendipity, because everyone was stuck at home, “flattening the curve”, and here we were with this big project to work on. The recording came together in a couple of weeks, with me at the controls, arranging/editing/producing/playing/singing, and Jim as my audio engineer/bass player/backup singer. We sent the tracks to our friend Pete Weiss to mix, and then it was mastered by Peter Linanne.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Next up was the cover art, and I was determined not to use a selfie, so we ended up doing two pandemic-friendly outdoor photo shoots locally with photographer friends who were willing. The first was with Joe Harrington at a park in Everett MA, which, though quick, yielded the cover shot(!) and a few other nice shots. The second shoot was up the street from our house in JP in lovely and historic Franklin Park, with our friend photo- and videographer Dave Geissler, who got quite a few nice shots (including the inside cover), as well as all of the video footage for the “All Night Long” music video!</p>
<p dir="ltr">I pretty much rushed right home with all the photos, hoping we had something (we did!), and I laid out the album cover over the next couple days (at this point I had a tight deadline!). Over the next few weeks I designed the rest of the CD packaging and merchandise, and sent them to print. Next was a website and social media redesign, pre-sale, and getting ready for release day (October 30th!).</p>
<p dir="ltr">We continued to do a few shows here and there in August, with several outdoor house concerts, and even a couple of clubs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">August 8th the Country Blues Duo got to play the new outdoor stage at The Porch Southern Fare & Juke Joint, which is our favorite new local Boston-area club for blues. It was a gorgeous evening, and it was wonderful to see so many friends in person (though distanced), dancing and enjoying the show!</p>
<p dir="ltr">August 26th we played a CBD show indoors at the Midway Cafe down the street in Jamaica Plain MA, which was fun. There was a very small live audience, masked, we played from behind a piece of plexiglass, and it was also live-streamed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">August 29th we were special guest performers at Adam Ezra’s Ramble, raising money for homeless veterans, which was also virtual this year. We were looking forward to being there in person, but, maybe next year! </p>
<p dir="ltr">We were surprised to find that the Delta Swingers’ show at Zinger’s in Milford NH on September 11th wasn't canceled! The show goes on, with a limited, socially distanced, masked audience. The show is also live-streamed. We were happy to be able to play with our drummer, Shawn Meehan, again, and to see a few friends!</p>
<p dir="ltr"><em>FALL/WINTER</em></p>
<p dir="ltr">September 30th we released the single “All Night Long”, along with our new music video for the song, which was debuted by American Blues Scene!</p>
<p dir="ltr">October 30th our new album, “Meet Me In The Middle”, is released, with a live-stream album release party to celebrate! The album is a hit with DJ’s, and it debuts at #13 on the Billboard Blues chart, and makes it to #9 on the Roots Music Report’s Blues Album Chart! Over the next weeks and months, the album continues to get great reviews, probably the most exciting being a 3 out of 4 star review in MOJO magazine (“one of the coolest music mags in the world, like a European Rolling Stone, but better!” says Jim). Also during that time I do quite a few interviews for print and radio, and even TV, including an interview with Frank Matheis for our upcoming review in the January issue of Living Blues Magazine! </p>
<p dir="ltr">With the pandemic still a big worry, we decided not to travel to see family for the holidays this year, which was tough, though we still managed to have some virtual family time. We cheered ourselves up with a series of holiday livestream parties, one before Thanksgiving, and two before Christmas, featuring songs from our album “The Christmas Swing”.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Which brings us to the present, as we get ready for our big end-of-the-year blowout this <a contents="Thursday, December 31st at 7pm EST" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/716883208962406"><strong>Thursday, December 31st at 7pm EST</strong></a>, on Facebook Live of course! 2020, we couldn’t be more ready to see you go! But we did manage to have an extraordinary year, even amidst all the chaos. We so are grateful for your support, and the community we’ve created together in this year of social distancing and Zoom get-togethers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks for coming along for the journey, and here’s to things getting (even) better in the new year! Let's celebrate!!🍾🥂</p>

3 out of 4 stars in MOJO!
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/71dd27b7d22cf933d5d21e4f425bd188376e471e/original/mojomagazine.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Big news!</strong></span></p>
<p>Not only did our new album, <em><strong>Meet Me In The Middle</strong></em>, get reviewed in the latest edition of <strong>MOJO</strong> magazine – we got 3 out of 4 stars! Not bad, for our first time appearing in this fantastic global music mag!! Check that off my bucket list! Here's what they said:</p>
<p>⭐⭐⭐</p>
<p>“Erin Harpe is an unmannered singer and assured guitarist, with an assertive touch and a firm grasp of country blues idiom, revealed in performances of Memphis Minnie’s What’s The Matter With The Mill and Lucille Bogan’s I Hate That Train Called The M&O. Among her original compositions, One Fine Day is set to the gorgeous melody of the old parlour guitar piece Spanish Fandango.” </p>
<p>I immediately thought, “they're right, I don't have any manners”, but then I looked up unmannered (we don't really use that word over here...), and I guess it's a compliment, meaning “not affected or artificial in style.”</p>

New album out FRIDAY 10/30 & Album Release Party!
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/ee17092cbff9896f36027041c40425754df6e3be/original/erinharpe-meetmeinthemiddle.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_" /><span style="color:#c0392b;"><span class="font_large"><strong>Counting down the days until album release day...</strong></span></span></p>
<p>There's just a few days left until we release our new album, <strong>Meet Me In The Middle</strong>! Friday's the BIG DAY, and we're celebrating with our first live stream concert in a while – our <strong>Album Release Party</strong> – on release day, <strong>Friday, October 30th </strong>at<strong> 8pm</strong> (Eastern Standard Time)! We're planning to play all the songs from the album, plus a few more of your favorite songs. The free show will be streaming on <a contents="Facebook" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/ErinHarpe.blues">Facebook</a> as well as <a contents="Instagram" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.instagram.com/erinharpe/">Instagram</a> Live – so mark your calendar and/or set a reminder, and we look forward to seeing you there!</p>
<p><a contents="RSVP on Facebook!" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://fb.me/e/bH87vaJ1w"><span class="font_xl"><strong>RSVP on Facebook!</strong></span></a></p>
<p>Recording this album is what got us through a strange summer without many gigs, stuck at home because of Covid-19. Since we couldn't leave the house much, it was great to have a project to keep us busy, and looking back, I'm really thankful that I finally had the time to make this album – my first full acoustic album in 12 years!</p><!-- more -->
<p>I wouldn't have been able to do it by myself, so I want to thank everyone who helped out: Jim Countryman, who besides playing on the album was my audio engineer and my co-producer, helping me make decisions about takes, arrangements, etc., Joe Harrington who did the cover photo shoot, Dave Geissler who did an additional photo shoot and video shoot for “All Night Long”, Pete Weiss at Verdant Studio who mixed the album, and Peter Linnane at Patch Hill Audio who mastered it.</p>
<p>I also want to thank everyone who pre-ordered the album! Jim and I really appreciate all the love and support we've gotten over the past few months, we're so glad to have such a great community of music supporters! </p>
<p>If you haven't yet, you can still PRE-ORDER the album – by itself or with our special pre-order Merch Bundles – until Thursday Oct. 29th. Go here to get yours: <a contents="erinharpe.com/album-pre-sale" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://erinharpe.com/album-pre-sale">erinharpe.com/album-pre-sale</a></p>

August news!
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/0e0240cd45434b2a66b5f6851ee74fff91eaec83/original/adobe-20200803-230528.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>It's August, my birth month! (Not that I'm one of those people that celebrates the whole month, LOL!) But I do love August. Usually, I'd be out doing a tour with the band, maybe playing a festival or two... but this year it's all about stay-cations, working in the studio, and trying to find time to take a little walk (when it's not too hot out!!!). Jim and I have been buzzing around, getting ready to release a new album -- our first release in two years(!), and my first full acoustic album in 12 years (which is hard to believe!). Fingerstyle acoustic blues is where it all started for me, so I'm really excited to share this very personal and intimate album with you!</p>
<p>We're pleased to announce that the new album, <strong>Meet Me In The Middle</strong>, will officially be released <strong>October 30th</strong> on <strong>VizzTone/Juicy Juju Records</strong>! Pre-sales start <strong>September 1st</strong>, so next month we'll be revealing all the great pre-order options, including new merch, a seat at our private live-streamed album release party concert (date TBA), posters, CD's, vinyl LP's, T-shirts, kazoo's, early access to the album and more, so stay tuned...</p>

<p><img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/e850a8a352b554f067b0f559bd2a84434a2dee21/original/img-20200627-021118-440.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_right border_" />Another month has passed in lock-down... but we've been keeping really busy, and have lots to share. For the last few weeks Jim and I have been working hard in our studio on the new Country Blues Duo album, and we think it sounds pretty great! In fact, we just sent it off to today to our engineer, Pete Weiss, to mix. The album is set to be released in October on VizzTone, and we'll be doing lots of fun stuff leading up to the release, more on that soon...</p>
<p>Since we need to make some space in our "storeroom" for CD's and other album-related merch, we've decided to have a <strong>big summer merch sale!</strong> We've added a few new items to our online stores, like new t-shirt designs, check them out, and get yourself something nice! All items are <em><strong>50% off </strong></em>until August 31st (no coupon code necessary). The store links are below, along with all our other news tidbits: show news, Curbside Concerts, Augusta Blues Week, and our July live streaming schedule. Enjoy, and we hope to "see" you soon!</p>

June news!
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/90db81b02b5244c9a95b0215ffd1081984602a21/original/1591070016481.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><br>Wow, June is here already, and the world is becoming crazier than ever. I hope that somehow some meaningful change can come out of all this. Please stay safe out there! Here in Boston, we've been busy getting some stuff accomplished around the home/studio, and we've been thankful to be staying connected to you twice a week for our Wi-Five Live concerts.</p>
<p>My last month was all about guitar workshops. I want to thank everyone who attended my <em>Intro To Country Blues Guitar</em> online workshop! It was such a success that I plan on doing another one (I'll announce it next month!). I also put together two guitar workshops for <strong>Augusta Blues Week</strong>. All you budding musicians and blues lovers should consider signing up for this great program, which usually takes place in the mountains of West Virginia, but this year has moved online. <a contents="Check it out/sign up&nbsp;here!" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://augustaheritagecenter.org/new-blues-week-augusta/">Check it out/sign up here!</a></p>

We are recording our first acoustic CBD album! We've been wanting to record our Country Blues Duo for a while, and coincidentally we find ourselves stuck at home together, with no touring, so it makes perfect sense. Stay tuned for more announcements about the upcoming pre-sale and release date!</p><!-- more -->
<p>Looking to the summer: we've been working through contacting venues for shows we had booked, checking to see if any of the outdoor shows might still be on. We're finding (unsurprisingly) that most are cancelled, but stay tuned to see if one or two outdoor shows could still be on. Gotta have hopes! In the meantime, we're keeping up our online show schedule (!) – <strong>Wednesdays</strong> and <strong>Sundays </strong>– the details are below, as well as some other timely news tidbits!</p>
<p>Oh, and we have a <strong>BIG MERCH SALE</strong> going on all week - 30% OFF EVERYTHING at our merch stores! Links below! </p>

Online Guitar Workshop - Saturday May 16th at 2pm EST!
<p><a contents="" data-link-label="Workshop" data-link-type="page" href="/workshop"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/0daced94a1773dc109f72fe82faf5ecd5db2960a/original/1588301746328.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_" /></a>Guitarists! Take your guitar playing to a whole new level with my online <strong>Intro To Country Blues Guitar Workshop</strong>, coming up on <strong>Saturday, May 16th</strong> from 2-3:30pm (Eastern Standard Time). This is an online workshop, so you can attend from anywhere! In this fun 90-minute live streamed Zoom workshop, you'll learn basic country blues fingerpicking skills and techniques. This is an intro level class, great for guitarists that are already familiar with first position chords, who want to spice up their playing. It's going to be lots of fun, and you'll come away able to play a new song! </p>
<p>Country blues guitar involves picking out a bass line with your thumb, while simultaneously picking the melody with your fingers, creating a full sound that's almost like two guitars being played at once. In this workshop, I’ll share secrets about how to get your thumb and fingers coordinated, teach you some helpful exercises, and show you a song or two that showcase these techniques. Plus, so that you can continue your practice, you’ll get downloadable tablature and mp3s for the exercises and songs from this workshop – free to all who attend! </p>
<p>If you're new to fingerpicking guitar, or need to brush-up on the basics, this class is ideal for you! I’m keeping the cost low for this workshop, just $29. Register now at my website to reserve your spot! </p>

<p> <strong>Country Blues Video Wednesdays...</strong></p>
<p>My latest project is a weekly country blues guitar video series, which I'm pretty excited about! Every Wednesday I'll be uploading a new solo acoustic blues video – just me and my guitar, playing acoustic country blues songs in the style I grew up learning from my dad, Neil Harpe (check out his cool vintage guitar website <a contents="StellaGuitars.com" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://stellaguitars.com/">StellaGuitars.com</a> for a little more about my dad and what he's up to). This week's video is of Willie Brown's “Mississippi Blues” – <a contents="click here to watch it" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYTYRL7SxoLSntd104H0svnOx-Gbp33yt">click here to watch it</a>!

<p>Spring is finally here, and, though I was so busy I missed sending you a newsletter last month, I'm happy to report that last month's UK tour went great, and we've got plenty of news to share! Our second UK tour (my acoustic duo with Jim Countryman on U-bass) was a whirlwind of well-attended and sold-out shows, with a couple guitar workshops thrown in, an overnight ferry (or two), snow in Scotland, and lots of fun adventures, travelling to new places meeting new friends.

Christmas Swing makes DownBeat's 2018 Yuletide Music Roundup!!!
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/298385c4101bb23bf2a9cb93dc447f45852b0a54/original/screen-shot-2018-12-06-at-8-03-09-pm.png/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.png" class="size_m justify_right border_" />We are very excited to announce that we made DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE's <a contents="2018 Yuletide Music Roundup" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://downbeat.com/news/detail/yuletide-music-roundup-2018">2018 Yuletide Music Roundup</a> with our very first holiday release!!! How cool is that?!? (I have always wanted to be on a list that included the great Diana Ross!!) “Singer and guitarist Erin Harpe spans the gap between historic blues and rockabilly, satisfying a roots music fan’s thirst</p><!-- more -->
<p>for a sound that is both comforting and edgy. Not content to put up with even a nanosecond of complacency, she and The Delta Swingers inject skewed fun into originals—including the title track, a jingle-bells version of their old tune “The Delta Swing”—and tinsel-strung renditions of gems written or popularized by Lead Belly (“Christmas Is A-Comin’”), Bessie Smith (“At The Christmas Ball”), Lightnin’ Hopkins (“Merry Christmas”) and Chuck Berry (the evergreen “Run Run Rudolph”). Too many visits to the wassail bowl: “Drink And Get Drunk,” a kazoo-driven revival of a Bo Carter country-blues number.”</p>
<p>Pretty exciting!! You can still get your order in and get your copy in time for Xmas! And throw in some other cool merch – all 40% off! All CD's come signed!!</p>
<p><span class="font_large"><a contents="GO HERE TO ORDER THE NEW ALBUM!" data-link-label="STORE" data-link-type="page" href="/store"><strong>GO HERE TO ORDER THE NEW ALBUM and check out our SALE!</strong></a></span></p>

<p>THANK YOU!!! I'd like to send out a great big heartfelt THANKS to all who pre-ordered the album – I really hope it's making your holidays brighter! </p>
<p>I also want to say how grateful I am to everyone who has donated to my <a contents="GoFundMe" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.gofundme.com/manage/help-me-get-to-memphis-for-the-ibcs">GoFundMe</a> to get to Memphis for the International Blues Challenge!

<p>Hope to see you and celebrate in person this season! Coming up this month we have several Holiday/Album Release Parties and appearances, and our upcoming schedule is <a contents="here" data-link-label="SHOWS" data-link-type="page" href="/shows">here</a>! Stay tuned for next month, when I'll be announcing exciting tour plans including the UK in March! Peace and love to “all holiday drop outs that are busy making their own extended families this year” (to quote one of our recent reviews). Have a wonderful, musical holiday season!</p>

Aj Wachtel calls THE CHRISTMAS SWING album "red-hot"!
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/d4972647899c4e1ccec2dda8853e2a72f2359dd4/original/44787621-10215342048731715-7607246169164480512-o.jpg/!!/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_" />The first, glowing review has come in of our new holiday album "The Christmas Swing", from our friend Aj Wachtel! Thanks for the nice words Aj! Check it out:</p>
<p>"This music is for the listener who would rather celebrate the holidays with their friends and family drinking at the bar with a live band instead of enjoying the yuletide with the solitude and warmth of their own cozily lit living room fireplace; contemplating good times past.</p><!-- more -->
<p>This is drinking music driven by the dynamo Erin Harpe and her Memphis Minnie inspired rural blues guitar finger picking and great, great voice.</p>
<p>Erin plays all the guitars including the slide guitar; and sings all the vocals and can also be heard on the washboard. Jim Countryman is on bass, snaps and claps, Matt 'Charles' Prozialeck blows electric and acoustic harmonicas, and Chris Anzalone is stationed behind the kit. They are tight, first-rate and powerful: a groove band with plenty of hooks; and their inspired individual performances make their first X-mas album really rocking; with red-hot music that will make your holidays even more fun. The CD features Erin's two songs and her own arrangements of traditionals and tunes by Chuck Berry, Bessie Smith, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Leadbelly. Check out the trad opening cut 'Jingle Bell Blues,' Erin's uptempo 'The Night Before Christmas' that showcases both her guitar playing and her voice, 'At The Christmas Ball' with great piano by John Juxo, Leadbelly's uptempo 'Christmas Is A-Coming' with the nice harmonica, Chuck's classic 'Run Run Rudolph' where it's a real treat to hear Erin cover Berry's two string leads, The title track, 'The Christmas Swing' written by Erin and Rosy Rosenblatt who also plays harp on the cut. It's a reworking of their 2011 hit 'The Delta Swing' And finally, the closer 'Auld Lang Syne' where she sings along with her kazoo. She also plays her kazoo on the only non-holiday track on the album 'Drink And Get Drunk,' by Bo Carter which again features her stunning singing; I just love when she harmonizes with herself, and I really dig her talented blues and r&b group. Erin says: 'this is a holiday album for music fans who really don't like Christmas music:' and she's absolutely right on that account. Support your local music and buy this great stocking stuffer CD right now!"</p>

There’s definitely lots of cheesy stuff out there… Well “The Christmas Swing” is the good stuff! It's raw, classic blues, and real homespun music – that happens to be mostly about Christmas, New Years, Santa, winter and/or drinking – and it will be sure to get you in a festive mood! I enjoyed putting together this collection of songs, including selections by Chuck Berry, Bessie Smith, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Leadbelly, Bo Carter, plus a couple originals and a few surprises. There’s electric and acoustic blues, rockabilly, and acapella kazoo! If you love Christmas music, but are bored of the same old tunes, you’re going to love this album full of hooky blues-guitar and harmonica-fueled gems so much, you’ll want to listen again and again every year! Still need more convincing?</p>

This year I'm competing as a solo act for the very first time, and I can't tell you how thrilled I am to bring my solo acoustic finger-style blues to the Memphis for this great event! It's a great opportunity, and I can't wait to showcase my acoustic side in Memphis, and share it with you too! In fact I've shared a video (below) of my winning set from the Boston Blues Challenge, watch it now. I've also got a few other things I've put together including a little video I made recently and a fun video about the International Blues Challenge (IBC) below with music by the fabulous Jontavious Quon Willis.

<p>Check out the Blues Foundation and the 2019 International Blues Challenge! <br>The International Blues Challenge is pretty much the best time to visit Memphis, the Home of the Blues – when the best up and coming as well as established bands from around the world gather and perform up and down Beale Street for 5 days. One ticket gets you in to all of the shows, and there are parties every night with more entertainment including many world-renown artists that come through town for the event! The IBC represents the worldwide search for those Blues Bands and Solo/Duo Blues Acts ready to perform on the international stage, yet just needing that extra big break. Each Affiliate of The Blues Foundation has the right to send a band and a solo/duo act to represent its organization at the IBC.

Augusta Blues & Swing Week Wrap Up
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/190af69dd303b67ff1a3af7514c9d6197f037d69/original/37831533-10156026067738952-1521196138282090496-o.jpg/!!/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><span class="font_small"><em>Playing a song for the enthusiastic crowd at Blues & Swing Cultural Session: New Blues. Photos by Augusta Heritage Center.</em></span></p>
<p>What a week! I just got home from <strong>Augusta Blues & Swing Week</strong>, at Davis & Elkins College in Elkins, West Virginia. It was a wonderful week, full of kindred spirits of blues, swing and roots music, despite a broad diversity of backgrounds, ages, races, even political leanings. We all came together for a magical week of music and came away inspired. Here's my wrap up of my first time teaching at Augusta Blues & Swing Week!</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/3f0dc9949b5e93ff11a00bc970402beb6cbc8f25/original/strip-montage-1.jpg/!!/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_" />Let me first say that this is one very special place. The Augusta Heritage Center was created to keep traditional music, folklife and folk arts alive, and is doing a great job if you ask anyone I met at Blues & Swing/Old-Time Week. It is a place for people who want to get involved in the music, and it's very hands-on. During their week-long workshops you can study an instrument or learn a new one, learn about different styles of singing, ensemble music, dance, and traditional folk arts. Blues classes cover a variety of styles and levels of instruction on guitar, bass, piano, harmonica, accordion, percussion, dance and voice, as well history. Evening activities include legendary late-night jams that go to the wee hours that include pretty much everyone who wants to join in, and nightly dances at their beautiful old-style outdoor bandstand. Tuesdays and Thursdays the local Elkins community comes down for evening concerts featuring the many talented instructors who are in town for the week. If this sounds interesting to you, go to their <a contents="website and browse the different workshop weeks&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://augustaheritagecenter.org/" target="_self">website and browse the different workshop weeks </a>(including Blues & Swing, Old-Time, Cajun/Creole, Classic Country and Bluegrass). This year Blues & Swing Week happened simultaneously with Old-Time Week, so there were workshops on traditional acoustic blues, swing, and also old-timey music. There was a whole lot of fiddlin' around every corner, and a fair amount of banjo'in' goin' on, and of course lots of old time blues as well, the kind you won't always see at most blues festivals these days. Pretty much all the instruments on campus were acoustic (note to self: bring my National next year!). The week really brought me back to my roots – hearing so many songs I grew up hearing and learning from my dad as well as long-time instructor Eleanor Ellis. It was also great to re-connect with some of the people involved in <a contents="Archie's Barbershop" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.acousticblues.com/" target="_self">Archie's Barbershop</a> and the <a contents="Washington Folk Festival" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://glenechopark.org/washfolkfest" target="_self">Washington Folk Festival</a> (where I watched great local performers like Eleanor Ellis, Phil Wiggins, John Cephas, Archie Edwards, John Jackson, Warner Williams, my dad's band Franklin, Harpe & Usilton and many more) and got my feet wet as a kid in the local DC acoustic blues scene. But Blues & Swing Week also took us all back much farther with presentations on the history and implications of blues music as well as discussions and presentations on dance, songwriting, instrument making and other folk arts.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/c46fd6e614550d8ce42938ce139b4407aa62797d/original/strip-montage-2.jpg/!!/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_xl justify_center border_" />The second thing I loved about Augusta’s Blues & Swing Week was the community of teachers and staff. The program is run by world-renowned harmonica player (singer/songwriter/etc., I could go on...) Phil Wiggins, along with the wonderful Joan Fenton (musician and folklorist) – they do a great job and have kept it going for over 30 years! They choose teachers who are some of the finest performers and educators in the Blues and Swing worlds, and also happen to be some of the most open, fun loving and sharing people I've ever met. There was a great sense of kinship, among the teachers as well as the students. From the first moment we were together at orientation Sunday night to the last jam Friday, we all made many friends and had lots of fun in the process. I loved seeing so many styles and interpretations of acoustic blues on display and being taught: Piedmont, country blues, delta blues, slide, swing – and that's just the guitar! There were over a dozen fabulous guitar instructors teaching various levels and styles, so I won't name them all, but here's a few – young bloods <strong><a contents="Jontavious Willis" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/JontaviousRWillis/" target="_self">Jontavious Willis</a></strong> (just off tour w/Taj Mahal and Keb Mo!), and <strong><a contents="Justin Golden" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/JustinGoldenMusic/" target="_self">Justin Golden</a></strong>; guitar gals <a contents="Valerie Turner" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/PiedmontBluz/" target="_self"><strong>Valerie Turner</strong></a>, <a contents="Eleanor Ellis" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://eleanorellis.com/" target="_self"><strong>Eleanor Ellis</strong></a>, <a contents="Shari Kane" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/Shari-Kane-Dave-Steele-134578353276835/" target="_self"><strong>Shari Kane</strong></a>, <a contents="Del Rey" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/Del-Rey-463608083686920/" target="_self"><strong>Del Rey</strong></a> and <a contents="Cyd Smith " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.cydsmith.com/" target="_self"><strong>Cyd Smith </strong></a>(my friend <a contents="Miss Tess" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/misstessmusicpage/" target="_self"><strong>Miss Tess</strong></a> was there as well as a vocal instructor!); and also fellow New Englander <a contents="Samuel James" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.therealsamueljames.com/" target="_self"><strong>Samuel James</strong></a> – just to name a few. There were multiple fantastic harmonica instructors, piano instructors, bass, percussion (pizza box), as well as dance and I was very surprised to see they included an expert New Orleans accordion player named <a contents="Sunpie Barnes" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/Bruce-Sunpie-Barnes-188456724552273/" target="_self"><strong>Sunpie Barnes</strong></a> (Sunpie & the Louisiana Sunspots) – go check him out!

I want to thank everyone who signed up for my classes!! It was my first time teaching in this format, so I was learning from them while they learned from me. Coming from many different parts of the country and the world (I had a conversation with one student from Germany!), we all had something in common: the music! Specifically pre-war acoustic blues, swing and old-timey music. It was fun to find people who spoke the same language, or were learning to, and had a love for this very particular kind of music that I happen to have grown up with and love. I made so many friends, many more than I ever would in a typical week! Here's a quick snapshot I took with of few of my students. Hope to see you all again next year!</p>

<p>I recently travelled down to the mountains of North Carolina for my first performance at Merlefest – “America's top roots-based festival”! I was invited to play at a special blues showcase – “The Greatest Acoustic Blues Show on Earth” – curated by legendary delta blues guitar picker and storyteller <a contents="Roy Bookbinder" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.roybookbinder.com/" target="_self"><strong>Roy Bookbinder</strong></a>. </p>
<p>Jim captured some wonderful video – with kazoo and audience sing-along! Watch here:</p>
<p><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XbS9pnBetpk" width="560"></iframe></p>
<p>It was a great day and wonderful festival! It was also really great watching (and hanging out with) some really great purveyors of the acoustic blues genre, including Ari Eisinger, Richard Ray Farrell, Jody Carroll, and Mr. Roy Bookbinder himself!</p>
<p><em>From Roy Book Binder:</em><br>“Erin was a big hit at Merlefest! The folks all loved her... definitely a great addition to The Greatest Acoustic Blues Show on Earth...”</p>

<p>Introducing the new album <a contents="Big Road" data-link-label="MUSIC" data-link-type="page" href="/music"><strong>Big Road</strong></a>, released on VizzTone/Juicy Juju Records! Our sophomore album highlights my diverse influences, from my roots in acoustic piedmont blues, to my electric side – slide guitar, boogie blues, funk and soul! BIG ROAD features ten songs – including four originals, and my own arrangements of songs by Mississippi Fred McDowell, Tommy Johnson, Mississippi John Hurt, Slim Harpo, and Randy Newman. I self-produced this album, and played all the guitars (there are a lot of guitars!), and it's got the energy of a live performance. Reports are already coming in that this album gets you dancing!</p>
<p><em><span class="font_large">"Listening to your new cd – just knocked something over because I am boogying around!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!"</span><br>

Jim update, Album Release Party tix on sale, Album Pre-release!

<div><span class="font_regular">As many of you already know, we've had to cancel a number of shows for the next several weeks, so that <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=714181450&extragetparams=%7B%22fref%22%3A%22mentions%22%7D" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show="1" href="https://www.facebook.com/jimcountryman?fref=mentions">Jim Countryman</a> can recover from emergency surgery for a ruptured intestine, which happened (luckily) right when we returned home from our recent Texas tour. He's doing fine post-surgery, and is busy healing and getting up his strength to get back on stage. Today, we got word that his recovery is going well enough to move up his secondary surgery to get him back “whole” again during the time we've already taken off. So we're hoping not to have to cancel any more shows, and we're all looking forward to seeing you guys soon!</span></div>

Recorded and mixed in 6 days, the album is an ode to our live performances, recorded with the band together in one room (with additional tracks overdubbed) at <strong>Verdant Studio</strong> in snowy Vermont. This album highlights all the different styles we play from acoustic blues to blues-rock with several surprises in between.

IBC Semifinalists!
Our Memphis Or Bust tour wasn't a bust afterall... We toured all around the south from Virginia to North Carolina, and from Mississippi to Nashville and ultimately Memphis Tennessee! We played all over Beale Street in Memphis, meeting lots of new friends, bands and fans, as well as seeing many of our blues friends we only get to see in Memphis. We made it to the Semifinals and played one of our best sets yet in front of a packed room at BB King's Blues Club! Thanks to everyone who helped us get there and who were rooting for us, and we also want to thank our sponsors the Granite State Blues Society! We're planning a welcome home party, tentatively on Sunday March 5th in Manchester NH (stay tuned for details!).<br><br>Here are some photos from our Semifinals set, by photographer Mike Kerr (f8inMemphis.com).<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/71fba0e8c18c2a7d37c6a618dce07deecd804f94/large/erinharpememphis-web.jpg?1486950481" class="size_xl justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/4ca877fdf9b9a614f8c063ac5806aa2af6fad1a3/large/erinharpememphis-4426web.jpg?1487020823" class="size_xl justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/84ea346dd5368257ea2fd1a78e17e8d376ac13f1/large/erinharpememphis-4443.jpg?1487012045" class="size_xl justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/263b2597c046ef1c3e21c8ac1820da6d4f83e218/large/erinharpememphis-4439web.jpg?1487020851" class="size_xl justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/8b3e25292af843d59f5a0d8728fbade59560fe57/large/erinharpememphis-4432web.jpg?1487020841" class="size_xl justify_center border_" />

<p dir="ltr">You may have heard, this January we're headed down to Memphis Tennessee for the International Blues Challenge! We're proud to be representing the Granite State Blues Society, who put on a nice fundraiser for us last week in Manchester NH (thanks to all who came out!). We still need to raise some money to cover our expenses, so we've put together an exciting Indiegogo campaign – <a contents="“Memphis Or Bust!”" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://igg.me/at/Memphis-Or-Bust"><strong>“Memphis Or Bust!”</strong></a> that will help us get down to Memphis, while giving you great exclusive rewards. Today I'm going to tell you more about one of the coolest perks, NEW MUSIC!</p>
<p dir="ltr"><br>When we were putting together <strong><a contents="this campaign" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://igg.me/at/Memphis-Or-Bust">this campaign</a></strong> we asked ourselves, what is the single most exciting thing we could offer? Since it’s been several years already since our debut album, the obvious choice was <strong>NEW MUSIC</strong>! Here's a first look into what we came up with – the Bootleg EP Series – available with our $30+ perks (which also include lots of other fun stuff)! We think you're going to love it, and getting it helps us out a lot too!

<p dir="ltr"><strong>The Bootleg EP’s</strong> are a series of exclusive digital releases we made just for backers. We thought it was important to include some material that hasn’t been released before, so each 5-song EP includes new songs from our upcoming album – including our most frequent requests! It's an early preview of our next album, also including some new takes on old favorites, with all the excitement of our live show. The tracks were recorded live at <strong>Pitman's Frieght Room</strong> in Laconia NH, featuring the <strong>2017 Memphis IBC band</strong> – <strong>Erin, Jim, Matt </strong>and<strong> Kendall</strong>! This release won't be available anywhere else!</p>
<p dir="ltr"><br>Today we announce the full track listing <em>(drum roll please, Kendall!)</em>, check it out below :) We know you’re going to love this new music! Your friends and family might love it to, so feel free to SHARE THIS POST! We're at 44% of our goal (woohoo! and thanks!) but we still have a ways to go to get to Memphis!</p>

New Music! Plus “Memphis or Bust!” Fundraiser Coming Up!
Hey Swingers,<br><br>We have a little goodie to share with you, a song we recorded recently for our dear friend and supporter John Doherty. He requested we cover a song by Hayley Jane, as a reward for our last album fundraiser. Here it is, “The Right” by Hayley Jane and the Primates!

We recently won the Granite State Blues Challenge, so we'll be heading down to Memphis this January for the International Blues Challenge (IBC)! The IBC is a great opportunity for us to play in front of some of the world's blues movers and shakers, and to compete for a chance to play the finals at the historic Orpheum Theatre. It also means taking a week off from paid gigs while having to cover expenses like hotel rooms, food, gas, etc. We've put together a really fun campaign that'll help us cover our expenses while you get some great exclusive rewards! Stay tuned for more info! And thanks as always for your support!<br><br>xoxo,<br>Erin & the boys

It was really exciting, a little bit scary, and a day I'll certainly never forget! I had a great time meeting ZZ fans and making new friends – the fans and the show were amazing! People I talked to really appreciated my stripped down sound (my set was solo acoustic, due to the band's stage set-up) – which I'll admit felt a little nerve wracking in front of 3,000+ people. But once I got on stage I felt right at home, and I could feel that people were receptive and digging it! <a contents="Check out my set and some backstage footage" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/erin.harpe/videos/10209161703066936/">Check out my set and some backstage footage</a> (captured by Jim Countryman)!<br><br>Here are a few clips from ZZ Top's set too <em>(see, you get a backstage pass because you're with us!)</em> Here's <a contents="me dancing to ZZ Top being silly" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/erin.harpe/videos/10209162248720577/">me dancing to ZZ Top being silly</a>, and <a contents="a cool clip&nbsp;from behind Frank Beard's drums" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/erin.harpe/videos/10209162367563548/">a cool little clip from behind Frank Beard's drums</a>!<br><br>After the crowds left, Billy Gibbons came out to say hello, saying he and the band had really enjoyed my set, and liked where I was coming from – a real reverence for the old classic blues. He was even trying to imitate which of my licks he liked! We chatted for a bit, took some pictures and then Billy said he wanted to go out on the town, and would we want to tag along? (Hmmm, um, YES!) The plan was bowling at a local alley, but instead we stopped at a Greek Festival on a church lawn he spotted on the way. We ate spanakopita and talked blues, travel, and compared callouses – it was awesome! Just myself, Jim, and Matt, hanging with BILLY GIBBONS OF ZZ TOP (while two body guards looked on...)! I loved hearing about his recent trip to Cuba to record his solo album Perfectamundo. At the Fest, everybody recognized him, but he politely declined any more photos, just wanting to hang out and enjoy the fest with us. <a contents="Here's a little footage from the fest." data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/jimcountryman/videos/10153861710006451/">Here's a little footage from the Greek fest.</a> It was just about the best day of my life, it felt like we were part of the Reverend Billy G's posse!<br><br>From the Worcester Telegram "...following a lovely set by Boston's Erin Harpe, ZZ Top ripped through a 15-song, hour and 14-minute set that was about as bare-bones as one can get: Just bassist and vocalist Dusty Hill, guitarist and vocalist Billy Gibbons, and drummer Frank Beard, with no backup, no effects and no theatrics..." <a contents="Read the full review." data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.telegram.com/news/20160911/zz-top-rocks-stripped-down-show-at-indian-ranch"><strong>Read the full review.</strong></a><br> <hr>

Great review in Living Blues Magazine!
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/d77ce74c1753b0d83934e0e2424e25ed9f12bd8a/medium/screen-shot-2015-10-30-at-5-27-50-pm.png?1446241523" class="size_m justify_right border_" />We are very excited to be featured in Living Blues Magazine, with a glowing review of our debut album “Love Whip Blues”! Pick up your copy, on newsstands – Issue #239. </p>
<p><em><strong>ERIN HARPE & THE DELTA SWINGERS Love Whip Blues VizzTone/Juicy Juju – VTJJ-001 </strong></em>As a young girl, Annapolis, Maryland–native Erin Harpe learned the blues literally at the feet of the African American blues players of the Washington, D.C. acoustic scene. Her father, visual artist and guitarist Neil Harpe, was a mainstay at the famed Archie’s Barbershop where he rubbed shoulders with the likes of Archie Edwards, John Cephas, Phil Wiggins and John Jackson. Erin grew up as a friend to all, picking up the true blues from early on. Her father, Neil, is internationally renowned among guitarists as a Stella expert and “purveyor of fine old time guitars.” </p>
<p>Erin’s first mentor was her father, with whom she recorded a duo album in 2008, Delta Blues Duets, and she was profoundly influenced by Memphis Minnie. She also looked up to another local woman, an important member of that vibrant and nurturing acoustic blues scene—Piedmont fingerpicker Eleanor Ellis, who taught Erin the intricacies of the East Coast guitar style. </p>
<p>Now, all grown up and living in Boston, Erin Harpe fronts the Delta Swingers as lead singer and guitarist. She has mastered the fingerpicking alternate bass style, which she has transferred to her electric Epiphone. The Delta Swingers, humorously referred to as the “Charles River Delta Blues” Swingers, is a funky, jumping dance-beat, roots-rocking blues band fronted by a dancing, fiery woman with a flower in her hair, who plays guitar better than the boys and who can sing the roof off an Amish barn. She carries just a hint of the bad-girl blues image, with that Betty Boop rockabilly chic, coarse fishnet stockings, red lipstick, flaming red hair and short skirt, with a tongue-in-cheek sultry undertone that is so much a part of the blues. On stage she puts on an energetically mesmerizing show, and that prowess carried over well to her sassy Love Whip Blues, the title song with its unmistakable sexual overtone. </p>
<p>The band does superb covers of Willie Brown’s Future Blues and Bessie Jackson’s I Hate That Train Called the M. and O. The bluesy roots-rock original Good Luck Baby is a smashing standout, not just for Erin Harpe but for the band, an excellent song with a 1950s R&B tinge, performed beautifully. They also shine on Luke Jordan’s Pick Poor Robin Clean and Charles River Delta Blues (based on Arkansas-native William Brown’s Library of Congress recording Mississippi Blues). As if to prove that every song ever recorded has multiple interpretive possibilities, the album closes with John Prine’s Angel From Montgomery, usually played sad and slow, but Erin Harpe does it fast and upbeat. </p>
<p>Erin Harpe is one of the most dynamic, talented and exciting roots rocking blues women on the scene and it’s time she gets noticed, as she has it all—a golden voice and the guitar chops that dazzle. As many of the great divas of the roots rocking blues are aging, the emerging new generation, like Imelda May, Grace Potter and Erin Harpe are firing up younger audiences, and Erin Harpe makes it as fun and exciting as ever, and that’s a good thing for the blues. </p>

He's since relocated to Boston and will be on tour with us as our touring harp player and understudy to Rosy. Be sure to say hi to him the next time you see us!<br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;"><br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">We have plenty of shows coming up from now until the end of the year (see our schedule below), and now that the busy season is over we're beginning to work on some new, fun projects to share with you. We are working on a way to share live recordings, demos, and some of my early early recordings with you, and we'll also be working on our second album. Thanks as always for your support!<br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;"> </div>

Memphis news and thank you's!
<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/2377dffb85b957d402376e94a2e4896f833bd999/large/ds-dittytv-amybrat2cropped.jpg?1422489424" class="size_l justify_none border_none" alt="" /><br>We had a wonderful and successful time down in Memphis recently at the International Blues Challege! We played two great sets Wednesday and Thursday at the Hard Rock Café on Beale Street, and competition was stiff! Many of the bands we were competing with at our venue were large 6 and 7-piece bands with horn sections and big glitzy stage shows. Friends "in the know" who have been doing the IBC's for years said the quality of bands has gone up exponentially in the last few years! All of the musicians (and fans) were very complimentary and really liked our sound. Even though we didn't make it to the Semfinals this time, we still made a BIG SPLASH, and got noticed by national and international blues tastemakers and festivals (more news on that coming up!). We saw many of our old friends we met at past IBC's, and we made lots of new friends and fans! We played on a TV show called DittyTV which features roots music from around the world, which will be re-broadcast soon (we will post links!). And we got to play Friday and Saturday nights at Bob Margolin's Blues Party on Beale at the Rum Boogie!<br><br>I think my biggest realization this year was, it's not about winning, it's really just about being down in Memphis for this largest gathering of Blues People from around the world. It's amazing who you meet: blues fans who want to see who is up and coming on the blues scene (and just want to have a good time!), record labels, booking agents and festival promoters, lots of blues DJ's, and so many awesome musicians to network with. We've come home with festival offers, plans to trade gigs with bands around this country as well as abroad. And we had a great band experience, playing better than ever in the Home of the Blues! It's safe to say the world has now heard of the “Charles River Delta Blues”! And I picked up a new nickname, the “Betty Boop of the Blues”, christened after one of our sets at the Hard Rock in the Quarterfinals!<br><br>We want to thank all those who helped us get to Memphis, through supporting our Indiegogo Campaign:<br>Mark Katzoff<br>John Doherty<br>Kay Douglas<br>Greg Nagy<br>Kate McGrath<br>Nancy Nisi<br>Beth Benham<br>Martha and Peter<br>Lauren Snedeker<br>Bob Smarse<br>Sandy Rodgers<br>Jim Countryman II<br>Jim Clifford Sr.<br>Kathy Lally Clifford<br>Jeffrey Rollins<br>...and all of the anonymous contributors!<br><br>THANKS!!!!!!!! Postcards were mailed from Memphis, you'll be getting them soon! And the rest of your perks will be a little delayed due to the Blizzard of 2015, but coming soon as well!<br><br>xoxo,<br>Erin and the boys

Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers in Maine Today's Face the Music!
This <strong>Saturday, December 13th</strong> we have a big Album Release show at <strong>One Longfellow</strong> in Portland, Maine! Writer Aimsel Ponti phoned Erin last week for a conversation about the history of the band, the new album, and the show Saturday. Here's what she wrote (<a contents="read the original article here)" data-link-label="" data-link-type="" href="http://mainetoday.com/blog/face-the-music/erin-harpe-delta-swingers-bring-bright-blues-one-longfellow-square-portland/">read the original article here)</a>:<br><br><strong>ERIN HARPE & THE DELTA SWINGERS BRING BRIGHT BLUES TO ONE LONGFELLOW SQUARE IN PORTLAND</strong><br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/fac2830d28f96691a275e7cb598a9c0ef5471740/medium/erinharpe-thedeltaswingers.jpg?1418162578" class="size_m justify_right border_none" alt="" />I’m pleased as punch to introduce you to my new favorite band, out of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers. They won me over with a sound that harkens back to the time of juke joints, with some modern funk and rock woven in. Erin Harpe’s got a righteous set of pipes and plays a mean guitar and the rest of the band has a whole lot of awesome going on.<p>Harpe and her stellar band have created their own sound on their debut album, “Love Whip Blues,” the title adopted from Harpe’s other band, the electro-funk dance outfit Lovewhip. The bluesy tunes are anchored by a 1930s Mississippi Delta vibe. There’s also soul, funk and even a bit of reggae spread throughout the four originals and six covers on the record.</p>
<p>The band includes Harpe on vocals and acoustic and electric guitars, Jim Countryman on electric bass, Richard Rosenblatt on harmonicas, Bob Nisi on drums and Sonny “Jim” Clifford on slide guitar. I rang up Harpe to declare my love for the record and to talk about her roots in music.</p>
<p>Harpe’s father, Neil Harpe, is a blues musician, and she grew up immersed in music but wasn’t interested as a girl in singing or learning guitar. She rebelled in earnest circa fourth grade and opted to learn to play the classical flute, which she played for about 10 years. So what made her get into the guitar? That’s easy: a boy.</p>
<p>The object of Harpe’s affection knew all the words to “Alice’s Restaurant.” She took that info and sprang into action. “I ran home and said, ‘Dad, you’ve got to teach me how to play it.’ After that, I was hooked.” Harpe said she essentially learned guitar through osmosis. “I could pick it up really easily, so I said, ‘Screw the flute’ and learned finger-picking blues guitar.”</p>
<p>Bass player Countryman is glad that boy didn’t work out. He and Harpe have been married 14 years.</p>
<p>Harpe started playing folk festivals and coffeehouses in her 20s. She released two albums under her own name, the second including duets she recorded with her father. Both are on Spotify.</p>
<p>Originally from Greenbelt, Maryland, Harpe wound up in Boston, met Countryman and started Lovewhip in 1998. Lovewhip has since released four studio albums and a live one. That band is still going, largely due to its loyal fans.</p>
<p>“We tried to end Lovewhip but fans revolted.” Thankfully, Harpe said, many fans have crossed over into digging Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers.</p>
<p>“I used to have a bit of an identity crisis. We started doing Lovewhip tunes Delta blues style, and it was kind of confusing,” Harpe said. “There wasn’t much difference, besides my outfits and that Lovewhip has synths.” Harpe doesn’t worry about this much anymore.</p>
<h3>ERIN HARPE & THE DELTA SWINGERS’ COVER OF JOHN PRINE’S “ANGEL FROM MONTGOMERY”</h3>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="450" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nDvMMrHoDxI?list=PL36B3637D59129284" width="100%"></iframe></p>
<p>Calling the Delta Swingers’ album “Love Whip Blues” further speaks to the blurred lines between the bands. Rosenblatt encouraged Harpe to do something that would clue people into the musicians’ other persona, via a song on the album by the name “Love Whip Blues,” a romp heavy with harmonica and a couple of well-placed hollers from Harpe.</p>
<p>The album’s opening track, “The Delta Swing,” is an original, and it sets the tone for the rest of the record with a polished yet funky blues groove: “They’re swingin’ it in Cambridge, they’re swingin’ in J.P., they’re swingin’ it in Memphis, way down in Tennessee.” And you’ll be swingin’ wherever you are when you hear the song.</p>
<p>The “Love Whip Blues” album marks the start of a relationship between the band and the Vizztone record label, which specializes in a wide range of blues-based music. Harpe said the power of a known label lends itself well to catching the attention of influential people. “We’re getting air play all over the world,” she said.</p>
<p>I’m fixated on a song on the album by an old blues man named Luke Jordan. Harpe said she first heard Geeshie Wiley’s version of “Pick Poor Robin Clean” when she was about 20, after her dad gave his entire collection of old blues records to her.</p>
<p>“I nicked it from my dad’s set list,” she said. “He always used to play it.”</p>
<p>Most would be afraid to touch a classic like “Angel from Montgomery,” written by John Prine and famously recorded by Bonnie Raitt. Not Harpe.</p>
<p>She and her band sped it up and made it something new.</p>
<p>“We like to get people to dance, and we kind of can’t help it,” she said. “I’m not a big ballad person.”</p>
<p>Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers recently won the Boston Blues Challenge and will head to Memphis in January to represent Boston in the International Blues Challenge against about 400 other blues acts from around the world competing for top honors. This will be the band’s third time in this competition. In 2013 they made it to the semifinals. The band launched an Indiegogo <a>campaign</a> to help the band cover the costs of the trip. For more information, go to indiegogo.com and search for Harpe’s name.</p>
<p>Hear what all the fuss is about in person by heading to the band’s CD release show in Portland on Saturday night. As a bonus, local trumpet player and longtime friend of Harpe, Marc Chillemi, will be playing with the band.<br><br><strong><em>Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers with Eric Green Party. 8 p.m. Saturday. $10.

Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers sign to VizzTone Label Group!
It's official! Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers are so excited to be part of the VizzTone Label Group family! Here's an excerpt from their announcement:<br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/18866/fe373176eb6f630e75ee4aef9f1482351cd43b79/medium/vizztonewelcome.jpg?1409100278" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" />VizzTone announces new signings and upcoming releases for this Fall! <br><br>The VizzTone label group proudly welcomes Rob Stone, Jimmy Carpenter, the Skyla Burrell Band, and Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers to the family! We are also honored to be working in conjunction with The Sean Costello Memorial Fund for Bipolar Research and producer Steve Rosenthal to release Sean Costello’s final, previously unreleased studio album.<br><br><em><strong>Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers / "Love Whip Blues" (11/4/14)</strong></em><br>We are particularly thrilled to welcome Boston's Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers to the VizzTone family. Erin learned to play Delta Blues guitar at an early age from her father, Maryland area bluesman Neil Harpe. Erin's travels brought her an appreciation of World music styles, particularly Afro-Beat and reggae. Landing in Boston, she did solo blues gigs, simultaneously started a electro-funk dance band called Lovewhip, and self-released a couple of acoustic blues CDs. A few years ago, Erin formed the Delta Swingers, a deep blues-based group that was also a dance band with a wealth of influences. The sound was aptly christened "Charles River Delta Blues". The Delta Swingers immediately won the Boston Blues Challenge, and went to Memphis for the International Blues Challenge. "Love Whip Blues" was recorded in Boston, then post-produced, mixed and mastered by the amazing Dave Gross at his Fat Rabbit Studios, with guest appearances by Dave Gross and Bob Margolin. <br><br>Read the whole article at <a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vizztone.com%2F&h=RAQHx_Fu8&enc=AZMo6tzMxu5eGw7QwPkTIlTB9JUxo5yWTa3BkdCV1HYnBB6SXroI4thJv1KQW5fz0abptvK6vClw2H1ko501oGWVaU9KiEGK5k6NHERppVR2llYE2vEdcCW_aQ6pRDncmpHBlqjWT6j8suIp3yWplxHS&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">www.vizztone.com</a>.
