I'm a freelance musician. I write and arrange my own music, but I also play blues harmonica. I've had 2 years of harmonica lessons with famous New Orleans artist Jason Ricci and I've got over 20 years of experience playing piano. I also play accordion.
To sample some of my own arrangements, just ask and I'll PM my SoundCloud info.
Josh was awesome! He played. Great set, great show.
Response from Blues Harmonica and Piano:
Thanks for the feedback! I had so much fun performing at your venue.
Price Range: $40-100
Gig Length: 20 - 60 minutes

I typically introduce myself and the instrument, then begin playing acoustic harmonica.
Once folks get an understanding of that, I introduce the amp and pedal effects by playing along with various preselected blues backing tracks (mostly drums, bass, and guitar).
I introduce each song and continue playing through the setlist until complete.

- Gospel accordion player (church)
- Blues harmonica player with 2 years of lessons
- Member of John Ashford Band
- Active Duty military member
I usually need a chair or stool and a power plug for my pedal board.
For piano, I need the venue to supply a fully functional piano or 88 key keyboard.
