Synopsis

Album Description
Part harmonica wizard and part rhythmic explorer, Harper is a fiery artist who blurs the lines between rock, blues, soul, and world music. His new release, Day By Day, is a worthy followup to his groundbreaking U.S. debut, Down To The Rhythm. It displays his trademark virtuoso harp performances, distinctive instrumentation, deeply soulful grooves, and instantly memorable songs, and provides a prime example of why his unique roots music style occupies a category of its own. Harper has been described as a singer with the deep soul of Motown, a harmonica player who can graft Sonny Boy II and Little Walter with John Popper, a songwriter who tells his own compelling stories in an unhurried, J.J. Cale-like manner, and a musical visionary who is unafraid to mix the didgeridoo, an important part of the indigenous culture of his Australian homeland, with infectious modern percussive rhythms.

Harper - A Unique Find

"I first discovered Harper when he opened a local blues show here in my hometown of Kalamazoo Michigan. I really enjoyed his and his band's performance and picked up this album after the show. Harper is originally from Australia and performs blues music in a rock vein. He sings and plays a mean harmonica, but what makes him truly unique is his incorporation of the didgeridoo into his music. His backing band is all very good, and add significantly to the arrangements. The songs are topical dealing with life on the road, social issues, and the occasional love song. This is just some really good stuff that does not sound like anyone else. If you like quality rock blues, with a twist of something different you might want to check Harper out."
