Boris Plotnikov session musician harmonica harp blues harp
I will record great harmonica part for your track. I am professional harmonica player from Moscow, Russia. I won pair of internetional contests. I play different styles of music and love to experiment with harmonica timbre.
I play both diatonic and chromatic harmonicas, both acoustic and dirty blues sound, most styles: blues, funk, hip-hop, swing, bossa-nova, rock, singer-songwriter, electronic, etc. I love experimental stuff! Solo and comping, I’m master of rhythm harmonica, sometimes harmonica grooves and pads can be much funnier than rhythm guitar or piano or synth.
