Nice job. Excellent showmanship on the part of Hugh Laurie.

Is that you on harp?

That's Kevin Breit (Canadian Guitarist) with Hugh - worked w/Carlos Del Junco, Holly Cole and Cassandra Wilson - touring w/Hugh for the last 2 years. (not playing harmonica - just guitar)

Word is that Hugh is a great guy, fun to work with and doesn't care if music tour makes money (he has enough residual from acting). He does it for fun.

I saw Breit give a workshop at the Vancouver Jazz festival a couple of years ago. He said he loved the Hugh Laurie gig.

I don't see anything embarrassing here.

Read me right: Hugh L is a funny guy, passable actor and, well, an ... ambitious musician. And Kevin Breit is a world class guitar player.
It´s just that this number doesn´t cut the mustard, no matter how hard he tries.

He does a nice version of Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho.

I think his performance is a million times better than the harp playing. The audience is eating it up!

I'm thinking the harp player can't hear himself and isn't hitting the bends accurately. It seems to me like he's bending to the floor.

I don't think this is a great rendition but it is fun. I've heard him in interviews and he's the first to admin that he's not particularly authentic blues / R&B performer but he loves the music.

This is from his old comedy show:
