This such an amazing opportunity for my band to play our music to such a unique culture, were are all very excited. We have put together a Harper and Midwest Kind China Tour Go Fund Me Campaign to raise funds to cover touring costs such as flights/ train tickets/ Chinese tour manager/ accommodation and equipment hire. In return for your amazing support, we have loads of cool stuff on offer: the new "Show Your Love" CD, the limited edition "No Wukkin Furries" China Tour Tee Shirt/ Ladies Tank, workshops and concerts. We certainly intend to give back to our supporters. Please spread the word, every little bit helps!!

In September we headlined the Art Eats Beats Festival in Royal Oak, Michigan, USA which was pretty cool. We played a new and very cool venue called BeMo's Bar in Bay City and finished the weekend at The Wine & Harvest Festival in Paw Paw. Then we headed to Vegetable Buddies in Indiana, our favorite Pop's Place in Illinois, the amazing Alamo in Springfield and then The Rathskeller in Indianapolis. Our good friends Justin Brown and Mark Menefee got up and jammed at The Rathskeller. Then the next stop was Hattiesburg, Mississippi for the Thirsty Hippo. We had an amazing set at Bogalusa Blues & Heritage Festival in Louisianna. It was unbelievably HOT, but so was the music. It was crazy to realize that the festival grounds had been under 5 feet of water only six weeks before. So many amazing bands at this festival, the standard of musicianship was outstanding. We also got to hang out with Trent Ayers and Cedric Burnside . The Capitol Oyster Bar was up next in Montgomery, Alabama. And you know we ate a ton of oysters!!! We finished the month with a three day visit to The Paradise Inn in Pensacola Beach, Florida. Bass player James got to see his whole family. Our old guitar buddy Tyler Mac stopped by and got up and jammed. It was a very cool visit. Then it was The Celic Ray in Punta Gorda, hanging with Mackie and Ann Marie! Then over to the east side of the state to visit Katie, Everett, Scott and Dawn at the "Camp Ground" in Jupiter, Florida. Cool shows at Guanabanas and Terra Fermata. Good times were had by all!!!!
We have an amazing Fall/ Winter Tour. Hope to see you out on the road this Fall and Winter!!

Harper and Midwest Kind November Blog- Last Month of Go Fund Me Campaign
Hey Folks,
We've literally flew in from Perth, Western Australia just a couple of days ago and are about to head south for some shows in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, USA. No rest for the blessed!!! Our Australian tour was amazing. Will, Bobbi and I got to hang with Bobbi's family in Melbourne. Bobbi' s brother has a beautiful property in Research with an in built family of kangaroos and Kookaburras. We also visited the Harper Clan in Perth. I hadn't seen my Mum and Dad for over ten years and some of my sisters for 15 years. We had a great time with our families. The shows were a lot of fun too. The German Harmonie Club in Canberra was a full house, lots of old friends like Margaret and Ian Ferguson turned up. Then we got to hang with the incredible James Glendenning at the Sydney Blues and Roots Festival. We did some touristy stuff like visit the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and in Melbourne - The Healesville Sanctuary. Will Rideoutt my fabulous guitarist got to see Emus, Wallabies, platypus and wombats. The Towradgi Beach Hotel was also a lot of fun. We had two shows at the Wangaratta Festival of Jazz. I would have to say that the second show was the best Ive ever performed in my home country. Our Aussie Midwest Kind- of Andrew Robson and Adrian Sutton did a great job of learning the all original repertoire. The flight home was not so good. Will's flight to Vancouver was canceled because the plane hit a pelican. Our flight from Perth was delayed, then our flight from Sydney to Vancouver came in late, so we missed the connecting flight to Toronto. Then our Flight to Detroit was delayed by one and half hours. Plus Bobbi and I were security checked at every city. But we arrived home safely with all our bags, harps and didgeridoos intact!
The big news is that the HARPER AND MIDWEST KIND NEW CD GO FUND ME CAMPAIGN has reached the new total of $4160 raised https://www.gofundme.com/peterdharper

We have covered the cost of the recording studio (yay) and now we are well on the way to covering the costs of the CD pressing and artwork (double yay). We have one more month to go, so if you haven't checked out the website please do so now before we close it down.. We have lots of goodies on offer: You have several choices: a pre release signed copy of the new CD and a signed poster or a Tee Shirt or all three. Maybe a house concert or harp/didgeridoo lesson in your own home as well! Bobbi and I could also bring "Australian Didge-ucation" to your local school or library. A huge thank you to those who have spread the word and supported this campaign. We certainly intend to give something back for your amazing support.
Hope to see you all out on the road this Fall and Winter here in the USA. Wishing you all the very best for the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday!
Thanks and Peace,

Hey everyone,
Happy Fall!!! A few more shows to go before we head to Australia for three weeks! As you all know I had to cancel the tour last year because of some fractured ribs caused by another driver driving through a red light. But Im all recovered now and the Aussie clubs and festivals were gracious enough to rebook the tour for 2015.
The big news is that we have launched our GO FUND ME" campaign for "Harper and Midwest Kind's new CD" gofund.me/peterdharper
If this link doesn't work you can cut and past and put it in your browser. That should do the trick: https://www.gofundme.com/peterdharper
The main goal is to raise $10 000 to cover the recording studio, artwork, CD pressing and publicity costs. So far, in just over one week we have raised $1800 with much more being pledged. This will be the first studio CD in five years, so its well overdue! I have written a bunch of new tunes and we've been road testing them since the Summer. We have the recording studio "Big Sky Recording" in Ann Arbor, Michigan booked for December and we have even lined up a great publicist. For those who wish to get involved there are loads of goodies to choose from. You have several choices: a pre release signed copy of the new CD and a signed poster or a Tee Shirt or all three. Maybe a house concert or harp/didgeridoo lesson in your own home as well! Bobbi and I could also bring "Australian Didge-ucation" to your local school or library. We certainly intend to give something back for your amazing support.
Hope to see you all out on the road this Fall!
