Hi all,
I've long held Sonny Terry as my favourite harp player and also have had a love for the Piedmont blues sound (possibly due to being born/raised in rural Virginia?). Of course also a huge fan of Cephas and Wiggins...and more recently discovered Warner Williams and Jay Summerour.

Are there any other guitar/harp duos like this that I could check out? Other non-duo Piedmont musicians similar to the likes of Peg Leg Sam are also welcome. It just seems that the genre was not very commercially successful making it harder to discover some acts.
Cheers!
Raven

You could check out Tom Ball and Kenny Sultan. They're not from the Piedmont area but they play a lot of Piedmont-style blues.
