Country Blues Holiday With Erin Harpe Duo and Mark & Jill

Country Blues Holiday with Erin Harpe Duo and Mark & Jill live at the Bull Run Restaurant on Saturday, Dec 14 at 8:00pm.

Erin Harpe Country Blues Duo: Guitarist/singer/songwriter Erin Harpe has been compared to legendary blues women like Bonnie Raitt and Rory Block. Living Blues Magazine called her “one of the most dynamic, talented and exciting roots rocking blues women on the scene” and the Midwest Record dubbed her “Bonnie Raitt on modern performance enhancing drugs!”

Recently named New England’s “Blues Artist of the Year,” Erin gets back to her roots in the acoustic blues for her new Country Blues Duo (a.k.a. “CBD”) with longtime partner/bassist Jim Countryman. Appropriately nicknamed “shit-kicking blues” on a recent UK tour, they create a very full, danceable and engaging sound with their down-home duo, which features Erin on acoustic guitar, vocals, kazoo & foot percussion, and Jim on ukulele bass and backing vocals.

Mark and Jill: Based in Up State New York, Mark and Jill meld their vision and talent for a taste of New Orleans meets Austin. NY Blues Hall of Fame bluesman Mark Tolstrup and sultry Texas singer Jill Burnham come together where the Delta meets the Rio Grande. Over a haunting slide guitar their voices soar and blend in harmony. Mark and Jill bring a fresh original interpretation to the earliest roots of the blues. Their original songs deal with both the hard realties of life and the joys of being alive.

Doors open at 6pm for dinner and seating. Showtime is 8pm

Tickets – $22
