Event Details

Grammy Award Winner, JAMES COTTON will be bringing his pure, raw soul-wrenching blues harp to Australian Audiences for the very first time. And be sure of this .... you haven’t heard harp-playing until you have heard JAMES ‘SUPERHARP’ COTTON play his harmonica.

JAMES COTTON has collaborated with the likes of Sonny Boy Williamson, Howlin' Wolf, Janis Joplin, Johnny Winter and Muddy Waters. He's also opened for/ sat-in with The Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Santana, Steve Miller, Freddie King and BB King just to name a few... It's no wonder he was given the name 'SUPERHARP' early on - a name that lives on to this day.

In Melbourne, he is performing with Buddy Guy & Charlie Musselwhite at the Palais, but in Sydney he is performing a very special & intimate performance at the Basement on Wednesday 23 April.

"Since 1966 James Cotton has been carrying the Chicago sound to the world. On 'Giant', he pours 75years of living into that harmonica and out comes devastating and powerful blasts of notes undiminished by age." - USA Today

"Cotton can blow like hell...dazzling."- Chicago Sun-Times

Don't miss this opportunity to see this bona fide blues legend "Superharp" up close and personal in this one off setting for a raw, lung-bursting, harp-spitting night - Prepare to get blown away.
