We’ll hope to be Brendon back when he can make it!

When one world-class harmonica player invites another harmonica player to share the stage, you know something’s up.

Brendan Power is a harmonica player's harmonica player.

Our man Jimi Lee, no slouch on harmonica himself, has invited UK-based New Zealander Brendan Power to share the spotlight on Bluesday Tuesday on June 8.

Power is acknowledged by many as one of the most creative, skilled & versatile harmonica players around today. Equally at ease on both the earthy Blues Harp as well as the sophisticated Chromatic Harmonica, he tunes them to his own scales to create a highly original style. He has recorded fifteen solo CDs to date, in a wide variety of musical genres.

Since he moved to Britain in 1992, Brendan’s eclectic skills and sympathetic ear have made him an in-demand session player, leading to live and recording work with artists such as Sting, James Galway, Van Morrison, Paul Young, Shirley Bassey, John Williams and many more. His playing is also heard on many Hollywood movie soundtracks and UK TV series. He’s featured on the Jools Holland Show and toured worldwide, performing in venues such as China’s Great Hall of the People and The Kremlin.
