Harpdog Brown - January 28, 2012

DV Presents and the Max Center presents Harpdog Brown! With talented Graham Guest on piano, Harpdog plays the harmonica with mastery.  Vocally, he is a gifted musician with Blues in his soul. 

He will give us songs by Fats Domino, Louis Armstrong, Muddy Waters, etc.  In 1994, Harpdog won the prestigious Muddy Award – the only Canadian to receive this honor, and in 1995 was nominated for a Juno Award for Best Blues Album.

Harpdog Brown was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. The Dog started playing Blues in 1981 and never looked back.  Some influences include  Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Little Walter Jacobs, Sonny Boy Williamson, James Cotton, and Tom Waits.

Having been in the business as a touring recording artist for close to thirty years, he has shared the stage with such greats as Matt “Guitar” Murphy, Pinetop Perkins, Tim Williams, Kenny “Blues BossWayne, The Powder Blues Band, Willie MacCalder, Jack de Keyzer, Fathead, Donald Ray Johnson, Morgan Davis and the late Dutch Mason.

Harpdog Brown is one of Canada’s truly gifted blues artists. He’s a lifer in the world of musical gypsies, travelling near and far to share his substantial talents in story and song.

A gifted singer and an imaginative harp player, he brings traditional blues into the 21st century. With four CDs under his belt, working with two different duos as well as with his band The Bloodhounds, the Dog puts his individual stamp on everything he does. 

He is pure blues at its best; absolutely the genuine item.  He is the real deal.
