The return of Erin & Jim to The Brecon Tap…

Erin Harpe Country Blues Duo has been called “today’s country blues at its very best” by America’s oldest blues periodical Living Blues Magazine, who crowned Erin “one of the finest fingerpicking acoustic blues singers in the land”! A passionate purveyor of the vintage country blues and roots music she was brought up on, Erin has quickly become considered one of the premier acoustic blues pickers in the world today – male or female.

This duo features Erin on acoustic guitars, vocals, kazoo, and foot percussion, with her husband, Jim Countryman, on ukulele bass and backing vocals. The pair’s foot-stomping back-porch blues transports the audience to the delta, with catchy and danceable vintage classics by the likes of Memphis Minnie, Mississippi John Hurt, Tommy Johnson and Blind Blake — elevated by Erin’s own interpretations — mixed in seamlessly with original compositions and country blues takes on popular songs. The act has been a hit everywhere from intimate venues to blues festivals, from the US to the UK and EU, to rum bars in Jamaica!

Erin has opened for and played with many artists, including Ana Popovic, Buddy Guy, James Cotton, James Montgomery, Ronnie Earl, Roomful of Blues, and Toni Lynn Washington.
