Five isle shows set
for blues harpist Harman

Star-Bulletin staff

James Harman is bringing his band to Hawaii to show local audiences what he has learned by living a life of the blues.

Harman has spent more than three decades playing the blues with his own bands, cutting 11 albums and touring across the nation and around the world. With his blistering harmonica, Harman soaked up the blues while backing or opening for such greats as Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Turner, T-Bone Walker, Lightning Hopkins, John Lee Hooker and Freddie King.

B.B. King hit Harman with a thunderbolt of inspiration while they were touring in 1972, when the king of the blues told Harman to stop relying so much on other people's music and play his own.
