Kim Field: Harmonica player and harmonica historian CC#214
from Oregon Music News · host Oregon Music News
It's another Coffeshop Conversation at Artichoke Music…that’s at 2007 SE Powell Boulevard. We’ll have another video episode up on Thursday, October 17…another spousal episode, this time with Shelly Rudolph and Chance Hayden…yes they’ll also perform. Next week it’s an all-audio episode with Goodfoot co-owner Neil Leeborg and today we have harmonica player and writer Kim Field who leads one of the hottest Blues bands in town, the Perfect Gentlemen. I hear he has a fabulous story on Deford Bailey, the first African-American performer at the Grand Ole Opry, and who you may have seen in the recent Ken Burns series. Kim tracked him down one afternoon. I think Kim brought his harp with him, so let’s meet him.
