I play harmonica for a living. I have 5 CDs out and an instructional book (distributed by Hal Leonard). I am accredited with putting harmonica in bluegrass music where it's never been accepted before. The majority of my bluegrass shows are with Grand Ole Opry legends "Jim & Jesse". I have played over 300 Grand Ole Opry shows and have been named "The Central Canadian Bluegrass Entertainer of the Year" for 5 consecutive years as well as having the album of the year for my first project "Harmonica"; this is all very strange for a harmonica artist.
The track is off of an experimental CD entitled "Normally Anomaly".
I applied and received a grant from the Canadian Art's Council to produce and record this CD. I feel very fortunate. The track on the loopers CD is just harmonica, no other instruments.
My rig consists of a EV 619 bullet mic, plugged into a RANE FMI14 with a BOSS SE70 and on that record a Lexicon JamMan plugged into the insert of the FMI14. I then split the signal to a PA cabinet which was mic'd and ran a direct to the console. I'm actually getting booked to play a lot of festivals using this rig, it seems I am getting airplay on CBC radio even though I have no distribution for the project.
A Walk in My Dream is actually exactly what I heard in my dream and I couldn't explain it to anyone so they would get it, but musically I seem to get my point across.
