Item Description

Eight One Hour Blues Harp Lessons from Levee Town's Jimmie Meade
Lessons are held at Knucklehead's Saloon

Jimmie Meade grew up in Chicago and the blues got him when he was a teen. The gift of a Little Walter record changed his life forever. Finding his way to the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago, Jimmie studied harmonica with Joe Filisko and eventually began sneaking into blues clubs, playing and listening to blues harmonicats like Little Mack Simmons and Sugar Blue. Eventually finding a new home in Lawrence, Jimmie was able to meet a myriad of students of folk, jazz and blues to play with and learn from. For the last four years Jimmie has moved between Chicago and Kansas City, sharing the stage with bluesmen such as Sugar Blue, Eddie “The Chief” Clearwater, John Primer, Lee Mcbee and Lazy Lester. When he’s not teaching harmonica here at the Academy, you can find Jimmie playing with his band, Levee Town .
