ABOUT

Already playing harmonica / vocals with a lovely female folk singer/ songwriter but looking to get a little louder and play with a full band.
I can do the sweet melodic harmonica sounds well but would like to play a more sonic tone, overdriven sweeping delays, interstella verbs with a moonshine primed fuzz/ distortion. Keen to do anything from stoner blues to instrumental post punk and soundscape film scores. Im not the traditional blues harp player with a Chicago tone. I have some great effects, amps and mics and can pull quiet unique harp sounds/ colours.
Vocally Im told I sound like Bryan Ferry/ David Byrne meets Nick Cave and David Sylvian. I am good with coming up with melodies but Im not much of a lyricist.
