James Harman is a California-based blues isaac Bashevis Singer, mouth harp player, songwriter, and bandleader with an schedule that emphatically distances him from the rest of the pack. A stager of the blues roadhouse circumference, he has lED various combinations of the James Harman Band all over the geezerhood, nearly featuring tops natural endowment (like guitarists Hollywood Fats and Kid Ramos) to equal his own. With roots in the deepest of blues mouth harp sources (Little Walter, Walter Horton, Sonny Boy Williamson), Harman tons consistently both live and on record. His most recent recorded efforts usher a genuine flair for writing original material (invariably more important to Harman than just regurgitating his record aggregation), all of it tied with a generous dollop of wisecracking good humor. Always uncoerced to debase the boundaries and conceptions of what a good bar band should be capable of, Harman combines rich traditons and beat craziness for a portmanteau that's mighty voiceless to jib.
