Erin Harpe – Meet Me in the Middle

MEET ME IN THE MIDDLE is second-generation finger-style guitarist and singer Erin Harpe’s fourth VizzTone release, and her sixth release in the blues genre. Following up a trio of successful albums with her band, Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers, Erin goes back to her roots in the country blues for this intimate acoustic album, self-produced and recorded in her home studio with husband/bass player Jim Countryman during the pandemic. Recently named 2019’s New England Blues Artist of the Year, Erin grew up learning finger-style guitar from her dad, Neil Harpe, and piedmont blues luminaries such as John Cephas & Phil Wiggins, John Jackson, and Warner Williams, at Washington DC’s famed Archie’s Barbershop. Erin has been recognized as “the next star in the acoustic blues” by TheCountryBlues.com, which recently wrote that “Erin Harpe has it all… the skills as an exceptional guitar fingerpicker, the musical heritage and knowledge, a wonderful voice, great stage presence and star-quality good looks to boot.”
