[Harp-L] Harmonica in Mainstream Music: Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three

[Eric Miller <miller.eric.t@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's not very often artists come along performing music that features
harmonica with equal billing to the other instruments, and that music finds
its way into the mainstream like a Popper or a Dylan, or Brendan's work
with Sting, etc.

These guys are starting to pick up momentum as a popular mainstream act
with the hipster crowd, having been on Letterman last July.  I just
discovered them this week and thought I would pass them along to the group,
because not only is the harmonica a full featured part of the  band (not an
"accent" instrument), but the music and their vibe is just fantastic.  The
harp players name is Ryan Koenig, and he's a very solid traditional player.

Enjoy.
