HARMONICA and BUTTON-BOX: New Album with Tim Edey
Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2017 3:49 pm
I'm lucky to make a living from the harmonica, in two main aspects: playing/recording and designing/making. Sometimes it's hard to get a balance between the two, as the making side in my workshop has absorbed an increasing amount of of my time in recent years.
But most years I manage to pop out 2-3 albums, and have a new one coming soon with my brilliant musical buddy Tim Edey. It's called Harmonica and Button Box . The title says it all really: pure free-reed mayhem from the mouth and bellows-blown types. I've always loved the combination of various kinds of accordion and harmonica, and this album features Tim on the little Irish button box. It's push-pull, similar to the blow-draw we do on harmonicas, and the sound together is really sweet. Here's a video of one of the sets of tunes we play on the album:
