...cause you made me love harp, blues, and introduced me to Natt Riddles (from whom I got this song). Here's a version of Shotgun Blues (Sonny boy's jump) from a recent gig with our trio (The Illegible Bachelors)

Love that minimalist band sound you've got there. Great singing and harping as well.

@Mathieu:

Not at the moment,I'm afraid:( But we're doing a gig in mid-june were there will be somebody to record for us so we have something to show :)

I'll let you know when we get it and I'll send you some of it :)

Rubes: We like to call each other illegible Bachelors because none of us are actually bachelors (hence the "illegible" part). Dads in Space is a cool name as well.

Very nice stuff. The acoustics of the space really work with the sound of your harp. You've got a pedigreed sound--and some nice movement in your voice (like a pitcher with a good cutter). Keep on in the same direction. No changes needed.

I said, "I'm the most illegible bachelor in town."
And she said, "Yea, that's why I can never understand
Any of those silly letters you send me."

Hey Adam,

Just wanted to say that I've been hearing a lot of you on Sirius XM channel 70 (Bluesville). I know they have a few songs in rotation, and they are all smokin' hot.

Thanks for the lessons and a place for newbies and pros alike to show up and share.

Great sound Mathieu.:o)

If I may? Two suggestions.

Try some hand effects.They add a lot of colour.Esp with acoustic harp.
Why not lay down some rhythm harp to let the guitarist open up a bit during his solo's.

Heart2harp Man your a great blues singer! That was good! I'm not a bandwagon guy, but you are a good singer! Your singing carries the whole thing. That was enjoyable!
Your harp playing has a late 40's chicago feel with your octaving style. Thats a cool style that not alot of people are doing. I've never listened to any of your other stuff so I don't know if thats your style or if you were just playing the song. Either way it sounds good!
