Verlene Schermer
has brought new meaning to the term "blues harp" with her
jazzy, bluesy style of harp playing, performed on a variety
of harps including a blue electric harp built by Camac (France),
a more conventional folk harp, and the unusual cross-strung
harp, with which she explores harmonic territory possible
on no other form of the instrument, always accompanying her
versatile velvety vocals. A 1997 prizewinner of the Lyon &
Healy Pop & Jazz Harpfest, she has recorded 4 CDs of original
songs, and has performed in concerts throughout the US and
Europe.

Kyle Wohlmut
is one of the leading
exponents of the wire-strung harp, the ancient 'Celtic' form
of the instrument, although his approach to the instrument
is hardly traditional. Using a unique combination of electronics
he has an array of modulations, bends and loops at his disposal,
making his harp sound like no other. As his sounds morph fluidly
from electric guitar to bass to pedal steel to synth-like
tones, even seasoned harp professionals can't believe what
they're hearing!
