slide guitar | Musicosity

run toto run

We're really new but folks have been very kind to us thus far . We've been played by Steve Lamacq and Rachael did a live interview on his BBC 6 Music show at drive time when Chris Hawkins was guesting. We've made the bbc's forecast for bands for 2009: "The best new bands and singers have been selected by some of Britain's most influential tastemakers as part of the BBC's Sound of 2009 search." And we were put on by Mike Walsh, head of music at XFM Nice.

Corey Harris

Corey Harris (born February 21, 1969, Denver, Colorado) is a guitarist based in New Orleans on the Alligator label. He spent some time in western Africa studying, and rhythms from this area are very prevalent in his music, most conspicuously in "Mississippi to Mali." He performs a wide variety of music, from poppy selections (Santoro, eg) to raw, traditional guitar and piano blues (Honeysuckle, eg). He is one of the few contemporary blues artists that is able to avoid being either a staunch traditionalist or totally separated from its roots.
