So I love listening to music as well. I’m curious what harmonica heavy bands that you all enjoy listening to. By harmonica heavy I mean that the harmonica is one of the main spotlight of the band or music, or bands with lots of harmonica in it. I’m not talking about heavy metal bands haha. I recently found Juzzie Smith and love his stuff. Give me names of bands even if it’s your band so that I can listen and get inspiration from!!

Sorry I can’t answer and apologies for getting a little off track, but as you mentioned Juzzie Smith, have you heard of Xavier Rudd? Another insanely talented Australian multi-instrumental musician. Including harmonica, although not in all of his songs. Beautiful spiritual lyrics and so much talent. Makes me feel like a complete novice, which I suppose I am. Check out ‘Follow the sun’ if you haven’t already heard it. ‘Live concert in Belgium is a nice version’
I have not heard of Xavia but will check him out. Thanks!
Fabulous Thunderbirds, Paul DeLay Band, William Clarke Band, King Biscuit, Greg Fingers Taylor, Little Charlie and the night Cats, then Later Rick Estrin and the Night Cats, Rod Piazza and the Mighty Fliers not forgetting the earlier pioneers, Snooky Pryor, James Cotton, Junior Wells, Sonny Boy Williamson II Little Walter. George Harmonica Smith Really Just Google harmonica driven bands. Most commonly now they are West Coast players, but there are some also in Blues Rock ( where heavy metal performers go to die) then There’s guys Like Paul Butterfield, Early Canned heat. Also a lot of Louisiana players Lazy Lester Raful Neal his son guitarist and harp player Kenny Neal. I could go on forever.
