Harmonica Workshop with Rob Paparozzi

Come join the Mahwah Museum for an overview class for players on both Diatonic and/or Chromatic Harmonica. We’ll also discuss related Harmonica Gear such as Pedals, Mics and Amps. We’ll use a C Diatonic (blues harp) and if you have a C Chromatic please feel free bring that as well. Participants will be provided a Dropbox link so players of ALL levels can use these materials that relate to their specific areas of interest on the instrument. Rob is a Hohner Harmonica Endorsee.
New Jersey-based frontman, singer, & harmonica player Rob Paparozzi has been a blues performer since 1967. But Rob is far from being strictly a blues musician. In fact, he’s at home playing a wide range of music, ranging from rock to blues to jazz to pop and country. This versatility is reflected in the long and remarkably diverse list of major artists Rob has worked with, including B.B.King, Dr. John, Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston, Carole King, Roberta Flack, Culture Club, Cyndi Lauper, Randy Newman, Jimmy McGriff, James Galway, Dolly Parton, George Jones, and the NY Philharmonic Orchestra. Rob was Lead Singer with “Blood Sweat and Tears” as Front Man-Lead Vocalist and Harmonica Player from 2004- 2011. He has been touring the world with the “Original Blues Brothers Band”, featuring guitar legend Steve Cropper and Saxman Blu Lou Marini 2000-to present.
Rob’ DEBUT CD “Etruscan Soul” garnered a Grammy Nomination. His Latest project is ELECTRIC BUTTER big band CD with Ed Palermo.
Rob’s Broadway, movie, and television credits are also extensive, including Big River, The Will Rogers Follies, Flirting With Disaster, Ride, Bill Cosby Show, CBS Early Show, and The David Letterman Show. He has also authored jingles for Scotch 3M BLUE tape, KFC, Pizza Hut, Maxwell House, Wendy’s, Lincoln Mercury, Stouffers, Dodge, Ford, Coke, Pepsi, Dominos, and Tylenol.
The bottom line is, even if you haven’t heard of Rob Paparozzi before, you’ve probably heard and enjoyed his work!
