About Sugar Blue\u00a0<\/strong>
\nBorn and raised in New York, harmonica genius\u00a0Sugar Blue<\/strong>\u00a0began his career as a street musician, he grew up listening to\u00a0 the jazz greats and then honed his chops by wailing along with Bob Dylan (with whom he would later record…) and Stevie Wonder songs on the radio.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like many american musicians before him Sugar Blue left these\u00a0 shores and relocated to Paris, where he became a first-call studio musician and performing artist.\u00a0 That\u2019s his harmonica blasting on the Rolling Stones\u2019 platinum\u00a0 disco hit \u201cMiss You\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Considered to be one of the first harp pyrotechnicians,\u00a0 he uses awe-inspiring high-register runs, circular breathing and electronic effects on his harmonicas blending them into\u00a0 his\u00a0 unique, visionary and singular style, technically dazzling yet wholly soulful.\u00a0<\/span>
\nGrammy winner<\/strong>\u00a0Sugar Blue has been called the Jimi Hendrix of harmonica: he has played and recorded with\u00a0Willie Dixon, Prince, Rolling Stones, Stan Getz, Bob Dylan<\/strong>, only to name a few…<\/span><\/p>\n
