I’m a big fan of Christelle Burthon and have featured her on Harmonica Love Affair before, but today I’ve discovered a new video of her that I instantly fell in love with. It seems she was walking through Sydney and came across a pair of buskers playing the blues. She pulled out a harp (a harmonica player should ALWAYS have a harp on them for just such an occasion!) and played a quick jam with one of the guys while the other filmed. I can’t say enough good things about her sound! She has velvet phrasing, luxurious tone, and a blues style that’s just downright sexy. Have a listen to this beautiful bit of improvisation and enjoy!
Christelle is my favourite harmonica player, thank God for YouTube! Hopefully some day she’ll get the fame her talent deserves.
