James Conway is a Chicago-based musician who picks a mean acoustic guitar and plays an even meaner rack harmonica. Whether it's a country blues number, a folk song, or a tradtional Celtic tune, Conway sings,picks, and blows his heart out. He transforms both harp and guitar into a huge, rhythmic machine. He is best known for his Celtic Harmonica work, which has earned him international recognition. Enjoy!

Passed down my love of the Harp to my youngest, that's what it's all about. Showed him your site, he's hooked. Great work.

Hey James,
You have any shows coming up in chitown? I am planning a trip there in a little bit... always wanted to see the city, and visiting a friend... would love to overlap it with a show of yours if you are playing out anywhere, even a small lil thing would be great...thanks for all the awesome clips!

Hi James, you are a very talented musician. I especially enjoyed your rendition of the 'Orange Splisham Splosham' (Awesome). I shall be back to listen, again and again. Thank you. Another favourite of mine is the 'Two Orphan Boys' by someone called 'Bugandflea'. I shall paste the link with this message.

you have inspired me to buy a harmonica, but where can I find the music for Orange Blossom Special.
