Yank, 50 (but young, honestly!) harp player, singer. Voice sounds like a cross between BB King and ZZ Tops! Hard to describe - but it gets people's attention! (Good thang?) The key most suited to my voice is definately "A" - but it depends on the song really. I can sing in other keys sometimes - or otherwise I need the band to drop down to the right key for me. I dont take myself too seriously but I do like giving a good performance come gigging time! Gotta overdeveloped sense of humour which needs sorting out sometimes but can get FOCUSED when required.

Got Harps in all keys and can play soft or heavy (got effects pedals, guitar amps)
Love to play & sing real slow Blues -BUT NOBODY ELSE DOES- IT SEEMS!!! So I've ended up rockin - doing covers and having to play fast all the time - which is alright - but I'd like a variety of tempos, please!

Anyways, give me a ring - if you dare! 07979 033573 (Russ)
