Craig Struble

Craig Struble is quickly becoming one of the most well-known harmonica players in the independent scene. He won the Hartford Advocate's Readers Poll for Best Harmonica Player in 2006, 2007 and 2008 and has been featured on WNPR. His recent work with the bands Bronze Radio Return, Fivewise, and Percy Hill has taken him throughout the United States. In addition to playing with the aforementioned bands, Craig has appeared as a guest musician with several acts including Dispatch, The Pat McGee Band, The Jerry Garcia Band, Deep Banana Blackout and many more. What sets Craig apart from most harmonica players is his non-traditional approach to the instrument. His style cannot be defined in simple terms. He takes the harmonica far above the boundaries of blues, making his melodies expressive and memorable. Craig recently began studying under Howard Levy, a Grammy Award winning harmonica master and founding member of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. His work with Mr. Levy has enabled him to incorporate a wide range of styles into his playing making his harmonica a much more versatile instrument in any genre of music. Craig is renowned for playing his harmonica through an actual Leslie organ speaker. By doing so, he creates a sound amazingly comparable to a Hammond B3 Organ. By using effects such as this, Craig makes his playing innovative and limitless. .Craig is available for recording and live performances.
