MORE ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Jason Ricci
Multiple award winning jazz, funk and blues harmonica player, singer, songwriter Jason
Ricci has played with, toured and recorded with some of the world's most esteemed
blues, jazz, rock and New Orleans musical legends. Jason is included in nearly every
top ten and top twenty lists of harmonica players in magazines and all over the internet.
His fascinating career and life has led him up to the highest musical mountain tops such
as performing at The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, recording a Grammy winning record
with Johnny Winter, winning three Blues Music Awards and numerous nominations from
The Blues Foundation only to fall all the way down to the lowest valley's of addiction,
homelessness, jails and back up again. Today his sincere recordings, shows, songs
and incendiary harmonica playing continue to tell the story of life and garner new fans to
add to an emotionally devoted following of dedicated music lovers.
Today Ricci is busy playing locally and internationally with his band The Bad Kind and
the Ricci/Krown Trio. Jason Ricci is frequently a first call sideman/addition for the two
time Grammy nominated New Orleans Mardi Gras Indian funk band Cha Wa, Walter
Wolfman Washington, Nick Moss, JP Soars, Damon Fowler, Lurrie Bell and the many
others that call. He recently recorded on The Blues Music Award Nominated album by
“The Altered Five Blues Bands” “Holler if you hear me” and has performed with them as
well. On the BMA nominated album He can be found often at home in New Orleans
teaching music, harmonica, running his popular YouTube channel and playing with the
best that New Orleans and the United states has to offer in the diverse styles of jazz,
funk, blues, rock and jam band music. Jason Ricci is endorsed by Hohner Harmonicas,
Blue Moon Harmonicas, Harp Gear Amplifiers and has his own line of signature pedals
and a harmonica microphone from The Lone Wolf Blues Company.
