An amalgamation of blues, soul and world music, Aussie Expat singer/ songwriter "Peter D. Harper" (now based in Detroit) creates a heady mix of roots music through his creative use of the harmonica, and the haunting drone of the didgeridoo.

HARPER AND MIDWEST KIND BRING WORLD BLUES & ROOTS MUSIC FROM DETROIT, USA!

 Harper possesses a strong, resonant voice and a deep, almost mystical approach to music that some might say has evolved into its own genre. Harper calls it "World Blues" -- a rich musical stew of '50s rhythm and blues, a '60s message of love and unity, and '70s funky soul, stirred up with masterful harmonica and the deep, woody, percussive tones of the didgeridoo, served up in a feast of timeless mystery. Harper has received an amazing 14 x Blues/ World Music awards (including a Gold Record) in the USA, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. He recently won a Detroit Music Award for "Outstanding Vocalist". No Depression Magazine,'s (USA) Rod Ames, adds that Harper " has written and arranged some of the most soulful blues rock filled music I have ever heard..". While Chip Eagle, (Blues Revue) said at a recent festival ".

Harper is the most exciting artist on the live scene today". Harper is backed by his talented Detroit based band "Midwest Kind" which features: Mike Howe on guitar, James Norris on Bass Guitar and Mario Copeland on Drums. Harper has just released his new CD "Show Your Love" (Blu Harp). This incredible new CD reached # 3 internationally on the Billboard Blues Charts and an amazing 6 months in the Top Ten, only being beaten out by Eric Clapton and Joe Bonamassa. Also # 1 in the Netherlands, # 1 in Italy and # 3 Debut on the Australian Blues Charts (Top 5 for 5 months). Harper and Midwest Kind will be touring Australia in March, performing at The Girrakool Blues Festival, Mordialloc Food, Wine & Music Fest and the Forth Valley Blues Festival plus several club dates.
