Doug Deming is a local(Detroit area) great and versatile guitar 
player/singer that has moved up a few notches. By that I mean he backs Kim 
Wilson several times a year, at last years annual winter blues fest his band 
backed Charlie Musselwhite as the headline act. Touring with Dennis G and 
now Steve Guyger. Has toured across the US and in Europe recorded his cd in 
California with some heavies from there. He is very harp friendly as you can 
tell. I would ask him about his traditional Chicago style playing as well as 
his west coast influences. I'd also ask him why he chose harmonica as a key 
element in his band. Just my spin as I know Doug fairly well.
