Erin Harpe has been playing country blues since she was a little girl, getting her chops from her virtuoso dad, roots/blues musician & Stella guitar expert Neil Harpe. The two-time “Blues Artist of the Year” (2019 New England Music Awards & 2012 Boston Music Awards) has earned a reputation as a captivating performer, playing stages large and small throughout the US, UK and Europe, and opening for everyone from ZZTop to Honeyboy Edwards, Buddy Guy and James Cotton. In Living Blues Magazine, Frank Matheis called her “one of the most dynamic, talented and exciting roots rocking blues women on the scene”, noting, “she has it all – a golden voice and guitar chops that dazzle!” Her latest album “Meet Me In The Middle” (out on VizzTone) was self-produced, along with husband/bassist Jim Countryman, and won the prestigious “Album of the Year” from the New England Music Awards. Erin’s high-energy performances center around exceptional finger-style and boogie blues guitar playing, together with her dynamic soulful vocals, for a sound that harkens back to the time of juke joints – updated with more modern influences like funk, soul, rock, and reggae. Her music has drawn comparisons to Muddy Waters, Bonnie Raitt, Canned Heat and Maria Muldour.
