Timeline
Peter D. Harper (born 10 November 1970) is an Australian-American blues rock harmonica player, singer and songwriter.
His unique slant on the blues and roots music genre includes his use of the Australian indigenous instrument - the didgeridoo.
Peter D Harper is known for his powerful soulful voice and a deep, almost mystical approach to the roots genre.
Harper has received 14 Music Awards in four different countries including a Gold Record.
In the late 1970s he played in a brass band learning to play the euphonium and trumpet.
Further inspired by Stevie Wonder's harmonica playing, Harper was self-taught on the instrument and played in clubs before securing his first recording contract.
It was a chance meeting with a Hopi "Dan Running Bear" in Silverton, Colorado, that led him down the path to rediscovering the music of his homeland.
Fascinated with the spirituality and culture of the American Natives, he found the same qualities present in the Australian natives of his homeland.
On adding the native didgeridoo to his music, Harper says "It is a sound I grew up with, so it seemed natural to add it to my songwriting particularly when the lyrics related to the plight of the Aborigines in Australia. When I added the didgeridoo to the more traditional blues instruments, it worked. The deep woody qualities and its haunting drone seemed to enhance the emotional quality of my stories. The didgeridoo is a spiritual and healing instrument, and it seemed blues music accepted it with open arms. I also owe my life to a clan of nomadic Australian Natives who saved my father and I from starvation when we were trapped at The Fitzroy Crossing (Western Australia), in between two fast flowing river torrents. They gave us enough food and water to last us until the flood had subsided. I feel my music is my way of giving back to these wonderful people".
Prior to his introduction to American audiences, Harper released six CDs to great acclaim in his homeland of Australia.
In 1987, "Sailing Australia" (America's Cup Theme) peaked at number 71 on the Australian chart; becoming his first charting single.
