Jo Harman’s rise has been described in many quarters as ‘meteoric’, although, as is so often the case, in reality, she has been quietly biding her time, developing her craft, refining her songwriting, paying her dues and, most importantly winning important admirers on the live circuit and beyond with her exceptional voice, compelling stage craft and excellent band. By so doing, Jo has quickly built an enviable reputation as potentially one of the finest blues, soul and roots-fuelled artists this country has ever produced; so much so that, in recent months, doors have been swinging open, and opening fast.
