A friend from Oz posted this. Did you Ozzies see this ? Thought I would share it here. It's definitely blues, and the Shamisen adds a really nice punch to it. To my taste it lacks a little bit of true fusion between the instruments: harp/guitar guy is not doing new stuff, nor is the Shamisen. Not sure yet what I think of it, got to hear it a few more times.
I'm the same Aussie, I never watch this show however that was awesome. I guess it would have had more punch if you were live in the audience as well. Thanks Mikolune for posting it
