Erin and Jim create their own unique sound, paying respect, but bringing so much of themselves, their talents, their passion, into the mix… filled with fiery passion, and buckets of soul. 

In 2010 Erin and Jim formed the band Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers. After being invited to play NotSXSW (John Conquest’s Americana answer to South by Southwest) as a solo artist a few times, Erin and Jim decided it was time to start a blues band, and The Delta Swingers was born! In their first year as a band, they won the Boston Blues Challenge, and were in Memphis for the first time at the International Blues Challenge, as a quartet lead by acoustic guitar with electric bass and harmonica, and drums. While there, the band was asked to play the prestigious VizzTone Showcase at the Rum Boogie on Beale St. In the excitement of trying to impress the crowd, in the middle of the first song, Erin accidentally kicked over her acoustic guitar, breaking it's neck. Luckily the host, Bob Margolin (Muddy Waters Band), was there, and what came next changed everything. He bestowed Erin with his Gibson Les Paul gold top electric guitar, and the band went electric. Since then, Erin has honed her sound, and her favorite electric guitars are her prized Epiphone Wilshires, through a Marshall Origin tube amp.
