[Harp-L] Arkansas Festival (King Biscuit)



Spent last weekend at the Arkansas Blues and Heritage Festival (formally
the King Biscuit Blues Festival).
Awesome harp players everywhere from stage to street to campground.
Some of my highlights were:
1. Billy Gibson band. This guy can blow like all get out. Great stage
presence and killer band. Check out his website.
2. Paul delay. Although I have heard many recordings this is the first
time that I have seen him live. What a monster player! Tone for days!
3. Watermelon Slim. What a performer! Great songwriter, harp player, and
slide-dobro. Did I mention a great performer with great songs?
4. Kim Wilson. What can I say. The longest solo harp solo I have ever
seen. So many techniques both amplified and acoustic. Great sounding
band (Thunderbirds).

I could go on and on but if you have the chance catch this festival. I
have been going on the 7 hour drive for eight years and have never once
been disappointed in the harp content or the festival as a whole. Highly
recommended!
