Blue's back for more

An American harmonica player is returning to Beijing with his band for two concerts later this month

Grammy Award-winning blues harmonica player Sugar Blue, who made his debut in China with a show at Blue Note Beijing in 2017, says Chinese fans are "warm, enthusiastic and knowledgeable" and that he finds the country inspiring.

"China has long been a hotbed of creativity," says Sugar Blue, adding that the Chinese musical instrument, Sheng, predates the harmonica by a millennium or more.
