Blues harp virtuoso Rick Estrin has piloted his outfit, Rick Estrin & the Nightcats, for the last decade, touring the world and winning the 2018 Blues Music Award for Band of the Year. The band formed in 2008 with ex-members of Little Charlie & the Nightcats, and current members include Rick Estrin on vocals and harmonica, guitarist Kid Andersen, bassist Lorenzo Farrell and drummer Derrick “D’Mar” Martin.
Estrin is critically acclaimed as one of the very best harp players, singers and songwriters in the blues world. His work on the reeds is steeped in the tradition of harmonica masters Sonny Boy Williamson II and Little Walter Jacobs, while at the same time pushing that tradition forward, critics say. His talent led several of his songs onto Grammy-nominated albums.
“Rick Estrin, who has been called a combination of jive-talking carnival side-show hustler and world class musician is the most colorful and entertaining showman around, dressed in forties hipster-style sharkskin suits, white shoes, and hair in a pompadour,” wrote Forbes magazine.
