Workshop: The Blues Harmonica according to Joe Filisko

Room 603

In this lecture-demonstration, attendees will learn about the styles of traditional harmonica players from Sonny Terry to Sonny Boy Williamson. Joe Filisko is a master of all the classic blues harmonica styles. His highly prized work and expertise have earned him the rare honor of having his name on one of Hohner’s instruments — the just-released specialty harmonica, the Thunderbird. Filisko was awarded the “Harmonica Player of the Year” in 2001 by the Society for the Preservation and Advancement of the Harmonica.
