• About Me

    Hello. My name is Brian and I'm a blues harp player and lover of all things blues. I had a lot of people tell me that I should write a blog about blues music, so here it is. I also love to cook, and like the blues, cooking speaks from your soul. As Emeril Lagasse says, "it's a food of love thang". So every once in a while, I might talk about great restaurants too. But be sure both the food and the music will both be rather tasty!

My Instructor-Johnny B

This is who taught me everything I know about blowing the harp. Johnny used to work at Hohner, and now customizes harmonicas in the Joe Filisko Method. He has fully customized harps in stock ready to go, so contact him for the best harmonica you’ll ever play. Check out his website to order your harps today.

Johnny also has a new cd out called Have Mercy, and it’s a must have for any fan of the blues. The cd has a mix of covers and Johnny B originals, my favorite is a chromatic workout called Mood Tuesday. Johnny does the covers well, ranging from well know songs to lesser known ones along with remakes with the Johnny B touch, and his fat-toned harp playing is always front and center, right where it should be! This album is a must have, so check it out on Johnny’s myspace page, or buy a few copies at cdbaby, or on itunes.
