These days I work primarly as a one-man band (OMB) or in duo settings with Sterling "Mr. Satan" Magee (as Satan and Adam), Andrew "Shine" Turner (as the New Delta Jukes), and Alan Gross (as The Blues Doctors). If you'd like to book me for YOUR festival, club, or private party, please contact me via email: asgussow@aol.com. As an experienced teacher and lecturer, I'm also delighted to offer my services for harmonica-related teaching events: clinics, workshops, and the like; the OMB format, in such cases, lets me deliver a self-contained, concert-ready set of music to complement the instructional portion of the event. (In other words, you don't need to hire a band to back me up.) I'm ready, willing, and able to travel, within the confines of my nine-month teaching appointment at the University of Mississippi. If you think you've got a gig for me, please don't hesitate to ask!
