Max & Veronica

Wednesday 3 September 2025
7.30pm
Our first overseas act at Harborough Blues. Max De Bernardi and Veronica Sbergia are two of the most accomplished modern blues artists from Italy.
“This was great entertainment and music that put a smile on your face. The audience flocked
around the stage enthusiastically lapping up the ‘old style blues’ pouring from it” - Digital Blues
“When it comes to knowing about Americana these two are right up there! Country blues, ragtime,
vaudeville and even a little old time C&W. Max is a very accomplished guitarist and a strong vocalist, whilst Veronica plays a mean washboard, ukulele and possesses a strong vocal styling. Very uplifting music! So if you get the chance to see this duo in concert, take it!”- Mike Vernon

Tom ‘JJ’ Julian-Jones joins us with Max Revell on drums. Tom JJ is well known as guitarist in the Cinelli Brothers, a dynamic 4-piece band from London who won the 2024 UK Blues Federation's "UK Blues Band of the Year".
Born and raised in London, Tom comes from a classical music background, studying trumpet from the age of eight. He saw two musical films aged twelve that had a profound effect on how he viewed music. The Blues Brothers (John Landis) and The Last Waltz (Martin Scorsese). During his teenage years he emersed himself in all forms of American roots music and taught himself Harmonica and Guitar. By the time he was 25 he was a mainstay on the London blues scene and began touring internationally with other artists. During this time, he released and EP (Little lies) and a full album of original material (Simple Truths). In 2018 Tom joined the Cinelli Brothers. The band has gone from strength to strength, releasing four studio albums, winning multiple awards and competitions, touring the UK, Europe and the USA with 250 plus shows a year.
Erin Harpe & Jim Countryman

Wednesday 29 October 2025
7:30pm
We're excited to welcome our second overseas act - Erin Harpe with her husband, bassist Jim Countryman - who are visiting Harborough Blues on their UK tour.
"Meet Me In The Middle" is one of those albums that has bags of quality, a generally cracking range of tracks and an old-school, acoustic blues mastery that is seldom found these days.” - Iain Patience, Bluestown Music NL.
Erin, the two-time “Blues Artist of the Year”, and leader of the band 'Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers', has earned a reputation as a captivating performer, playing stages large and small throughout the US, UK and Europe, and opening for everyone from ZZTop to Honeyboy Edwards, Buddy Guy and James Cotton. In Living Blues Magazine, Frank Matheis called Erin “one of the most dynamic, talented and exciting roots rocking blues women on the scene”, noting, “she has it all – a golden voice and guitar chops that dazzle!” Her latest album – “Meet Me In The Middle” (self-produced by Harpe, along with her husband, bassist Jim Countryman) – won the prestigious “Album of the Year” from the New England Music Awards. Erin's music has drawn comparisons to Muddy Waters, Bonnie Raitt, Canned Heat and Maria Muldour.

Sunjay Returns to Harborough Blues at Louisa's Place.
Radio 2 Young Folk Awards Nominee 2012
Winner of the Wath Festival Young Performers Award 2012
British Blues Awards Nominee 2014/2023
We're very excited to welcome back our very first performer at Harborough Blues, the wonderful and entertaining Sunjay. This talented guitarist, singer and songwriter set us off on a journey that has seen sell-outs for our first five events. So it is fitting that we have chosen Sunjay's return as an alternative format to our usual 2-sets with interval. Sunjay will play two different 'houses' - a first house which starts at 7pm and a second house at 9pm. We are offering 40 tickets for each house and Sunjay will play a 75 minute set for each. The sets will be different so if you wanted to buy a ticket for the second house as well as the first you will hear different music.
Anyone attending both houses will receive a £5 voucher on the night to spend on a future gig.
