Hands down, Brian Hurd (aka Daddy Long Legs) is the best blues harmonica player this writer has ever seen or heard. His playing is so pummeling and soulful it just saws you in half. In this first of a multi-part video series, Brian discusses his history, and plays a stripped-down rail-riding Guthrie-esque set at Guvnor’s Vintage Thrift store in Park Slope. The series’ 2nd episode will be filmed on Thursday 04.14 at Bowery Electric, where he’ll surround himself with a full band that sounds as if it stumbled out of CBGB’s in its heyday. Most importantly, the band will allow Brian to ditch the guitar, two-hand that harp, and rip the roof clean off. Bowery Electric, 327 Bowery at 2nd St. Thursday 4/ 14 @ 9pm. – See the video and interview with Brian Hurd here.
