It's big news for Jo Harman this week as she features heavily in Classic Rock & Blues Magazine's 'Best of 2013' (alongside many big names including Gary Clarke Jr), she topped the list as Breakout Artist of the year in the influential UK high street magazine. 2013 has been a busy year for Jo as she played over 40 UK and European festival shows in 2013, including prestigious slots at Cheltenham Jazz Festival and Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival and this summer she was one of only 12 (otherwise household name) artists appearing at Parkpop in the Hague, performing to over 300,000 people. Last month she performed at the BluesFest at The Royal Albert Hall in London for Live Nation (recorded for future broadcast by Radio 2 and Radio 6 Music).
Jo has appeared on prime time Netherlands TV and mainstream radio (see video below), as well as making her third appearance in 6 months at the Paradiso Amsterdam. Her album was 'formally' released (beyond BeNeLux) on CD, Vinyl and digital format this week via The Big Chill Label, using Proper Music Distribution
