Blues Harmonica and Piano
Overview
I'm a freelance musician. I write and arrange my own music, but I also play blues harmonica. I've had 2 years of harmonica lessons with famous New Orleans artist Jason Ricci and I've got over 20 years of experience playing piano. I also play accordion.
To sample some of my own arrangements, just ask and I'll PM my SoundCloud info.

What to expect
I typically introduce myself and the instrument, then begin playing acoustic harmonica.
Once folks get an understanding of that, I introduce the amp and pedal effects by playing along with various preselected blues backing tracks (mostly drums, bass, and guitar).
I introduce each song and continue playing through the setlist until complete.
