front porch roots & bluesShort Bio:Blues Music Award Nominated Acoustic Blues 
Erin Harpe & Countryman Jim “Country Blues Duo” (aka “CBD”) plays irresistible, old-school front porch blues.
Praised by Living Blues Magazine as “today’s country blues at its very best,” Erin Harpe is celebrated as “one of the finest fingerpicking acoustic blues singers in the land.” With her soulful vocals, dazzling Piedmont-style guitar, foot percussion, and kazoo, Erin delivers a sound that’s both authentic and electrifying. Paired with Countryman Jim’s grooving bass and harmony vocals, the duo creates a full-band feel with just two players – tight, rhythmic, joyful, and deeply rooted in tradition!

“This album was a real labor of love. I’ve always loved Mississippi John Hurt’s music, since I was a little girl listening to my dad play his songs around the house,” award-winning blues artist and educator Erin Harpe shares about her latest recording. She credits Hurt’s guitar style as being a big influence on her playing, with its alternating bass thumb-picking and syncopated melodic runs. Erin pays homage to the legendary bluesman with Let The Mermaids Flirt With Me: A Tribute To Mississippi John Hurt, a stripped-down album that she recorded with partner Jim Countryman in their home studio in Boston. The 10-song album is OUT NOW on Erin Harpe Music through the VizzTone Label Group!
