Terry “Harmonica” Bean At The Bentonia Blues Festival 2013

Mississippi bluesman Terry “Harmonica” Bean had already been on stage for most of the day at the Bentonia Blues Festival when his own performance time came up. Bean is a traditionalist who plays both the harmonica and the guitar and stomps his foot to keep the time. He told the crowd Saturday that he has nothing against bands, but that the way he plays is how blues was done before there were bands.
