Live Music featuring the Erin Harpe Country Blues Duo
Fri. 7 Mar, 2025 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
LIVE MUSIC
Join us in the Crazy Horse for live music featuring the Erin Harpe Country Blues Duo
A rising star in the roots and blues scene with a growing fan base around the world, guitarist/singer/songwriter Erin Harpe has been compared to legendary blues women like Bonnie Raitt and Rory Block. Living Blues Magazine called her “one of the most dynamic, talented and exciting roots rocking blues women on the scene”, and the Midwest Record dubbed her “Bonnie Raitt on modern performance enhancing drugs!” Recently named New England’s “Blues Artist of the Year,” Erin has garnered critical acclaim with her award-winning electric blues band Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers for a decade, gaining a considerable fan base with their memorable high-energy performances and irresistible mix of genres they call “Boogie, Blues & Beyond.”
Erin gets back to her roots in the acoustic blues for her new Country Blues Duo (a.k.a. “CBD”) with longtime partner/bassist Jim Countryman. Appropriately nicknamed “shit-kicking blues” on a recent UK tour, they create a very full, danceable and engaging sound with their down-home duo, which features Erin on acoustic guitar, vocals, kazoo & foot percussion, and Jim on ukulele bass and backing vocals. Their energetic performances transport the audience to the Delta, with vintage classics by the likes of Memphis Minnie, Mississippi John Hurt, Tommy Johnson and Blind Blake – elevated by Erin’s own interpretations – and mixed in seamlessly with original compositions and country blues takes on popular songs. Erin Harpe CBD is a must-see roots act that will get any crowd moving – now accepting bookings for Spring 2021!
“Erin Harpe has a timeless quality about her. Maybe it is her signature look with a flower in her hair and the fishnet stockings, a look that would have worked in any decade over the past century. Or maybe it is her virtuoso finger picking guitar style or the way she can play the slide guitar like some of the recent greats such as Bonnie Raitt or Rory Block. Or maybe it is her beautiful singing voice, especially when she is covering the old-time blues music of Memphis Minnie or Sippie Wallace with a confidence and sass that might remind you of Maria Muldaur. Her style is both endearing and enduring.”
Sound Waves Magazine called Erin’s new album Meet Me In The Middle “a masterclass in country blues” in the April 2021 issue!
The duo’s latest release, MEET ME IN THE MIDDLE (2020 VizzTone) was recorded in the couple’s home studio while in quarantine during the pandemic. The new album has gotten rave reviews, declared “today’s country blues at its very best” by Frank Matheis in Living Blues Magazine, and getting a 3 out of 4 star review in MOJO. The album entered the charts at #13 on Billboard’s Blues Chart, and climbed to #5 on Relix/Jambands.com Radio Chart, #7 on iTunes Top US Blues Albums, #9 on North American College & Community Radio’s Top 30 Blues Chart, #8 (Top 50 Contemporary Blues Albums) & #15 (Top Blues Albums) on Roots Music Report’s Charts, and #17 on Living Blues Radio’s Chart, also making several 2020 top 10 lists!

Berkshire Highlands Pentathlon - 2025
All day
Save the Date! The Berkshire Highlands Pentathlon will be on March 29, 2025.
Register here 2025 Registration Form
The race starts at Berkshire East ski area. The first leg is a 4.3 mile run that starts on pavement through the town of Charlemont, then heads into a mix of woods roads and trails up around the Warfield House before descending to the Run-Bike transition at Zoar Outdoor.
The bike leg is a rolling, out-and-back, 18 mile road course that heads west on Rte 2 before turning onto Zoar Rd and proceeding up to the Hoosac Tunnel. It then returns to Rte 2 on the same route, and turns west, ending at the Bike-Paddle transition at the Mohawk Park Campground.
The paddle leg starts with a short run from the parking lot of the Mohawk Park Campground down to the river. Boaters then go left up river for a short attainment section, before rounding a buoy and heading back down stream. The course is just under two miles of class 1 paddling, with one spot that can be a class 2 where another small river joins the Deerfield. The takeout is at the Paddle-Adventure Run transition area on the right shore just past the Route 8A bridge.
The adventure run is about 1.75 miles of mixed dirt and pavement. It heads up the road to Berkshire East, then around the perimeter of the parking lot, where several small obstacles are located, then up into the base area, and out into a wooded area surrounding the tubing park. The adventure run finishes heading down to the main base lodge area where the Adventure Run – Ski transition is located.
The climb and ski leg ascends and descends the Competition ski trail in front of the main base lodge. Athletes climb or skin up and descend down through a course of gates to the finish.
These activities – many of the best outdoor pursuits in our area can only be done on the same day early in the spring. Come join in the fun this year!
