James Cotton "Superharp" Band - artist site
“We’re talking about the blues, loud and fast and getting down dirty, we’re talking about James Cotton, a singer, stomper, and harp-player extraordinaire,” proclaimed the New York Daily News. Inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2006, the Smithsonian Institute in 1991, and winner of countless W.C. Handy Blues Awards. Superharp continues to showcase Cotton's immense talent and keeps him one of the most sought-after, hard-driving, seminal blues musicians touring the world today.
