About the Artists:
Zac Harmon was born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, Harmon. During the 50’s and 60’s Harmon hung out at his father’s pharmacy in Jackson, soaking up the aura and sounds of the musician customers while developing his skills as a guitarist, organist and vocalist. Go to http://www.myspace.com/zacharmon for a preview of his electrifying blues guitar.
Saxophonist and pianist Deanna Bogart blends boogie-woogie, blues, country, and jazz. From a Downbeat review “Deanna possesses a gift for approaching blues, soul and R&B material with warmth and firmness. Her originals, in particular the beautifully sung, intelligent ballads "Blue By Night" and "Tender Days," sound as fresh as if she'd magically plucked them out of the air. " Preview her at http://www.myspace.com/deannabogart
Terry “Harmonica” Bean, another Mississippi bluesman, still works fulltime at a furniture factory, but has found time to perfect his vision of the traditional blues. Here’s a video clip of Terry at the National Folk Festival in Butte Montana (USA) http://www.video4viet.com/watchvideo.html?id=TAZJJfPyR0w&title=Terry+%22harmonica%22+Bean
The “Blues on the Nile Tour” was pulled together by Caribbean blues producer Steve Simon, who has dedicated his career to bringing the blues to the world. For more information contact Steve at :
