James Supra Band
Penn’s Peak, a wonderfully beautiful mountain top entertainment venue located in Jim Thorpe, PA: can comfortably host 1,800 concertgoers. Enjoy a cool summer night with us. Here is a little bit about James Supra! James Supra’s blues harmonica and vocal prowess is legendary in the world of blues. For almost 40 years he has been playing harmonica with variations of his own bands and sharing the stage in the U.S. and abroad with blues notables as diverse as B.B. King, Catfish Hodge, Mike Dugan, Lonnie Brooks, Jason Ricci And Carey Bell. He has won Best Harmonica Player honors in a 19 year LVMA (Lehigh Valley Music Awards) streak before refusing further nominations and earning the first LVMA Legacy Award. James' other LVMA multiple year (Fan and Industry) awards have also included Best All Around Performer and Best Blues Band.
Supra’s discography includes Hard Times (2005) with Craig Thatcher. Several Mike Dugan recordings. His own recordings, including Tip My Hat to the Maker, which won the World of Harmonica’s Best Album of 2012.
Plus several recordings on local artist material.
While Supra has immense appreciation for “so many great harmonica players in the world”, he attributes his biggest influences to Muddy Waters and Jason Ricci. Those influences have helped Supra create his own contemporary blues style which has been best described as “very high energy harmonica and guitar driven blues rock”.
