Since May 2005, Nate Myers & The Aces have been hosting HARPAPALOOZA, a fundraiser benefiting the American Diabetes Association for Diabetes research. It is a full evening of music featuring harmonica players backed by Nate's band - The Aces. Nate Myers is the MC for the evening....and occasionally takes the stage for a tune or two. There is a silent auction, a 50/50 giveaway, door prizes and more!
HARPAPALOOZA has featured local and regional blues artists from PA, DE, MD & Washington, DC, and hopes to spotlight players from VA, NY, NJ and beyond in the future! We also wish to feature other styles of harmonica music and as the event grows, hope to gain the support of national artists, as well! Past and current featured performers volunteering their time include:
Thanks to these performers and volunteers from groups such as the ADA, Tour de Cure and the Blues Society of Central Pennsylvania, HARPAPALOOZA has raised over $4,000 dollars for Diabetes research! And we've only just begun....
Any harmonica players interested in performing at HARPAPALOOZA should send a message to this profile or by emailing harpapalooza@yahoo.com.
