Deak Harp Tank

Deak Harp has been playing harmonica since he was 12 years old. His biggest early inspiration came when his brother introduced him to the music of James Cotton.

Over the next 40 years or so Deak has toured with the James Cotton blues band, played with multiple bands and has shown his flexibility as a musician in the varying styles of his performances. From the classic blues standards, to Chicago blues, all the way to Mississippi Hill Country blues and International Jazz Festivals.

When he’s not touring the world, Deak can be found in his truly unique brick-and-mortar harmonica shop. Deak’s Mississippi Saxophones & Blues Emporium can be found at 13 Third Street, Clarksdale, Mississippi, just down the street from Ground Zero. Deak makes custom harmonicas to order, and carries a selection of his wares in his shop. This one-of-a-kind shop also offers harmonica repairs, harmonica lessons, CD’s, and t-shirts. Visit his website here.

Deak is a blues legend who always gives 110% to deliver a high-energy show that you won’t want to miss. “And ya know that’s right!”
