A past lineup of Harmonious Wail.
An earlier lineup of Harmonious Wail (from left): Maggie Delaney-Pothoff, Jeffo Weiss, Sims Delaney-Pothoff.
press release: Harmonious Wail draws from the rich musical influence of the European gypsy musicians, most notably Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, while bringing in crowd-pleasing vocal performances in the tradition of bands such as The Manhattan Transfer and Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks.
The Harmonious Wail trio plays jazz, be-bop and Gypsy Swing, featuring smoky vocals, original and cover songs and magnetic audience rapport. 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.
In 2016, Harmonious Wail is celebrating its 29th anniversary as a working band. In August 2013, the trio released its 8th CD of incredible music, Bohemian Tango.
