1-30-2027 (Ballroom)
Erin Harpe & Countryman Jim have been called “today’s country blues at its very best” by Living Blues Magazine, who crowned Erin “one of the finest fingerpicking acoustic blues singers in the land”. They have been nominated for "Blues Act of the Year" by the New England Music Awards.
Their newest CD, "Let Mermaids Flirt With Me: A Tribute to Mississppi John Hurt," was released last October. So if you don't already have one, get a signed copy at the show.
The group showcases Erin’s exceptional vocals and mastery of finger-style blues guitar – which she does while also playing foot percussion & kazoo! Rounding out the pair’s full-band sound, Erin’s husband – Jim Countryman – provides the perfect counterpoint with grooving bass and backing vocals. This dynamic duo boasts a career studded with numerous accolades, and miles of musical highway.
