Label : Blu Harp Records Release Date : March 31, 2016 Website: www.harper.biz Award winning, Australian singer/songwriter: Peter D. Harper creates a heady mix of roots music through his creative use of the harmonica and the haunting drone of the didgeridoo. Funded by his fans via a very successful “Go Fund Me” campaign, Harper’s latest CD “Show Your Love” features 11 original road tested tracks recorded with his well traveled, Detroit based touring band “Midwest Kind”. Possessing a strong, resonant voice and a deep, almost mystical approach to music. Some might say that his music has evolved into its own genre. Harper calls it “World Blues” a rich musical stew of the ‘50’s rhythm and blues, the ‘60’s message of love and unity, and the ‘70’s funky old soul, stirred up with masterful harmonica, the deep woody, percussive, tones of the didgeridoo, served up in a feast of timeless mystery. PRESS “# 3 on Billboard Blues charts – 17 weeks in Top Ten (July 27, 2016) only beaten out by Eric Clapton and Joe Bonamassa, # 1 Single “Hell Yeah” in The Netherlands, Europe and # 3 Australian Blues and Roots Charts - June, 2016. A singer/songwriter and masterful musician, Harper brings his stories to life with his unique blend of styles that incorporates elements of blues, soul, folk, R&B and so much more. Harper's work on the harmonica is superb...and then some, adding that element of blues that we all enjoy. Reflections in Blues, USA. Treat your ears to something unique and satisfying, and get cozy with Show Your Love soon. This album will change thinking about what blues can be” Barry Kerzner American Blues Scene USA There are many moments of true brilliancy....Harper's new album is, undoubtedly, the pinnacle of his career so far. Gio Pilato, Blue Bird Reviews, United Kingdom This originality deserves the attention of all music lovers! Rootstime, Belgium "Impassioned vocals and an equally emotionladen harp… a fine release, recommended to all lovers of modern blues – but don’t expect a guitar fest, this is far more subtle than thatBlues Matters, United Kingdom A beautiful album with fine music and especially meaningful lyrics. Eric Campfens, Barn Owl Blues, The Netherlands “Harper is an original, playing the harmonica like an authentic Chicago bluesman, singing about unity and love like a member of peacenik jam band, belting crisp vocals like a straight-up classic rock performer, and then pioneering the didgeridoo into these popular forms of modern music. Unique and quality music of this kind is truly a rare treat”. Karyn Albano, Modern Rock Review, USA "Harper was born to play the harmonica. He has an amazing presence and sense of what fits in when he is playing. His blues is original!” Muzik Reviews, USA. BOOKING TRACK LISTING (Bluharp 003) 1. Hell Yeah 3.45 2. What’s Goin Down 4.15 3.
