Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers is an award-winning, Boston-based band whose diverse influences range from acoustic Piedmont and Delta blues roots to hard rocking electric slide guitar, boogie blues, funk and soul.
Erin's soulful vocal style and accomplished finger-picking guitar playing have earned her many fans, including guitar great Ronnie Earl, and she is quickly becoming recognized on the international blues scene.
From acoustic finger-picking to electric slide guitar to wah-wah fueled funk, Erin delivers a high-octane show.
Her band members include Jim Countryman on bass guitar and ukulele bass, Matt “Charles” Prozialeck on harmonica, and Kendall Divoll on drums and percussion.

• International Blues Challenge Semi-finalists (2017, 2013, 2011)
• Boston Music Award Winners “Blues Act of the Year” (2012)
• Boston Blues Challenge Competition Winners (2015, 2014, 2012, 2010)

• Recognized along with Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, Shemekia Copeland, Rory Block, and Ana Popovic in Alternate Route Magazine's “30 Woman Burning Up the Blues”
“Erin Harpe is one of the most dynamic, talented and exciting roots rocking blues women on the scene and it’s time she gets noticed, as she has it all — a golden voice and the guitar chops that dazzle.
As many of the great divas of the roots rocking blues are aging, the emerging new generation, like Imelda May, Grace Potter and Erin Harpe are firing up younger audiences, and Erin Harpe makes it as fun and exciting as ever, and that’s a good thing for the blues.” –Living Blues Magazine
