This
fabulous blues duo has existed for about seven years. The harp and guitar
has been a traditional format in the blues history, and as they say at the
cover of their first CD: ”Searching the Desert for the Blues”, they
try to give you the best of what they consider is the best of the acoustic
blues tradition.
Their
music goes back to the 1920`s , 30`s and 40`s. The Jumper and Moe play in
different styles like the Mississippi slide or harp style, or the sweet
Piedmont way of guitarpicking.We can find memories of Blind Blake,
Mississippi John Hurt, Bo Carter, Lightning Hopkins, Blind Willie McTell,
Bukka White, Muddy Waters, Little Walter, and many more of the old-timers
in their music.

| During the last
years they have won great recognition at the European festival and club
scene, and their Live-shows always got superb revues. Jolly Jumper &
Big Moe plays instruments like the harps, 6 & 12 string guitars,
national steel, the mandolin, footstomp and whatever that’s got strings
on. They also use a lot of strange things as percussion, and of course,
they both do the vocals.

| Jolly Jumper,
born 1965, has played the harp for many years, and you can hear Little
Walter, Sonny Boy and James Cotten influence his way of blowing. He also
plays the guitar in a very Blind Boy Fuller way.

|
| Big Moe, born
1950, has played the blues guitar since the mid-60`s, at that time
influenced by Buddy Guy and Freddy King. He then started playing acoustic
guitar, and you can hear a lot of Lightning Hopkins, Mississippi John Hurt
and John Jackson in his style. Moe also plays the mandolin and the slide
steel guitar.
