AL LERMAN

AL LERMAN is a lifelong musician with a highly personal style. With a great knowledge of the blues tradition on both harmonica and guitar, he brings that sensibility to songs that he's written about his own contemporary life and times. His soulful delivery, coupled with wry and thoughtful songwriting, make him an engaging and compelling solo performer. He is equally at home playing an intimate house concert as he on a large festival stage. Easy going with a wonderful sense of humour, he is considered among the top harmonica players in the country, and has been heard on countless recordings and live sessions.

Al was founder of the much-loved band FATHEAD (1992-2016), garnering two JUNO AWARDS, and he is  also a long-time member of the renowned Maple Blues Band. A solid fixture in the blues & roots scene for over fifty years,  Lerman has amassed an impressive legacy of songs along with a deserving list of industry awards & nominations.   (Above performance header photos courtesy of Drew Monrad)
