Blues didgeridoo workshop

Blues and didgeridoo. Turns out, it’s like peanut butter and chocolate.

Harper, a blues musician from Australia, can jam the didgeridoo and the harmonica, too. Here's proof. He and the Blue Ridge Blues Society and Blue 5 Restaurant are giving you a chance to learn how to play the indigenous Aussie instrument, too.


Harper plays Blue 5 at 9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16. At 4 p.m. the same day, he’ll but on a workshop. Blue 5 owner Kerry Hurley says that Harper will discuss the history and origins of harp and didgeridoo, will demonstrate playing techniques and will jam with his band at a workshop that should last about one-and-a-half hours.

The workshop will be $10, or $5 for blues society members. It'll be $5 to get into the show.

  2. Did you check out the video? Didgeridoo really does work with blues. Almost surreal.
