In 2021, Harmonious Wail celebrates its 34th anniversary as a touring band.
Harmonious Wail draws from the rich musical influence of the European gypsy musicians, including Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, as well as crowd-pleasing vocal performances in the tradition of bands such as The Manhattan Transfer and Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks. The trio features smoky vocals, original songs and classic covers in an intimate performance with charm, humor and memorable musical chops. Be sure not to miss lead singer Maggie Delaney-Potthoff playing her cardboard box drum and a pair of scissors for a series of unique and perfectly-blended sounds. Bandleader Sims Delaney-Potthoff plays guitar, mandolin and ukulele, while Jeff Weiss plays stand-up bass and electric bass.
