Un-famous famous players

Not sure if he’s been mentioned yet but Bret Michaels of Poison is pretty good. He’s part of the reason I got interested in playing the Harmonica in the first place back in the day.

@Retta75 Are there any Poison recordings that have good harmonica?

Poor Boy Blues from their Flesh N Blood album is the only one that comes to mind. And I’ve seen/heard him play his harmonica live in concerts a few times.

Thanks for sharing that @Retta75. Just gave me a flashback to seeing them in concert in 1988. I was in 8th grade, lol.

I saw Poison in concert last year when they opened up for Motley Crue at Cleveland Browns Stadium (formerly FirstEnergy Stadium) and Bret Michaels did play harmonica at the concert. All he did was some basic chugging and it sounded decent. My mom is a huge Bret Michaels and she didn’t know that he played harp
