Jo Harman, Wang Dang Delta

Recently voted 'Female Vocalist of the Year' at the British Blues Awards, Jo Harman is an original British singer-songwriter/bandleader whose work is broadly influenced by blues, gospel, soul, country, rock and other 'roots' sensibilities. In March 2014 the Daily Mirror, as part of a half page interview, described her as 'the finest female soul blues singer in the UK'.

Emerging initially as a 'word of mouth' independent, Jo remarkably secured over 50 UK and European festival gigs over in 2013, including prestigious slots at the likes of Cheltenham and Edinburgh Jazz Festivals. Last summer Jo was one of only 12 (otherwise household name) artists appearing at Parkpop in the Hague, performing to over 300,000 people. In the last two years she performed alongside names like Robert Plant and Van Morrison at BluesFest at The Royal Albert Hall in London for Live Nation (Jo's performance being broadcast by Radio 2 and Radio 6 Music).
