Jan. 7th • 8pm My first show of 2012 is a special Blues-Inspired show for that "oh-please-let-me-down-gently" post-New-Year's weekend that starts this Saturday! The Blues can be fast, slow, funny, romantic. And while I do love a good "My Baby Left Me" that's just part of the Blues. I love to dance over to the other side of the tracks, too, and sing Blues about the Dogs of Somerville, the noble Watermelon, Elvis’s first day in Heaven ... and the fine art of romancing your favorite chef --as always, peppered with stories harping on the good things in life. If you've got the "Short Days of Winter are Settin' in Now" Blues, or the "Maxed Out My Credit Card" Blues or them "I Need a Holiday from the Holidays" Blues -- come on down to TCAN and boost the music of your immune system with some Red-Hot Harp for the cold January Blues THIS SATURDAY! Hey, the Blues are fun, even when you don't have them! I hope I see you at the show! How to Lose Your Blues Let's warm up from the inside out! I know an old Firehouse with a great stage where there's not-a-bad-seat-in-the-house! I'll be there Jan. 7th playing Blues-Harp on a ... well, on a harp. TELL YOUR FRIENDS! I made it waaay-easy!

See All Upcoming Shows at The Tour Page Guitar legend Steve Vai calls her the "Jimi Hendrix of the harp." The New York Times credits her with shaping the serenely Olympian harp into a jazz instrument by warping it closer to the Blues." Deborah Henson-Conant's music ranges from Blues to Flamenco, in a relentless exploration of the instrument that was invented specifically for her by the CAMAC company in France: a 32-string, 11-pound electric harp she slings on like an electric guitar. She combines music, theater and humor - with a voice, which has been compared to Carly Simon and an onstage energy that's been compared to Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry. "The instrument forced me to rip apart any preconceptions. Nobody had ever tried to get these sounds out of a harp, so I simply had to stop thinking of it as a harp, and open my mind to everything else it could be," says the composing performer. That led to the development of music that's won her a GRAMMY nomination, PBS television music special, first prize in the International Songwriting Competition, and invitations to perform worldwide as a solo performer and with orchestras.
