Fog City Blues: Big Harp George

George Bisharat is a San Francisco Bay Area blues singer and harmonica player who features the chromatic harmonica. The chromatic (compared to the ten-hole diatonic more common to blues) has a distinctive voice, and lends Big Harp George's sound a jazzy, contemporary, and sophisticated feel. 

George was a criminal defense attorney, award-winning professor of law at UC Hastings College of the Law, and expert commentator on law and politics in the Middle East before turning to music full time. The CD release show for his latest album, Uptown Cool, takes place at Biscuits and Blues in San Francisco on October 12, and he joins host Devon Strolovitch for a preview this Wednesday 10/03 at 9 pm.
