Lovewhip

“Lovewhip may be our answer to Prince, except it's a funky, electro-jam with a female guitar-slinging mastermind!” –Cheap Thrills Boston

“More fun than a truckload of Cyndi Laupers!” –Portland Press Herald

“A mash up of all the world's most danceable music, from electro to Afro-beat, to reggaeton and post-punk” –Weekly Dig

Lovewhip’s music has been called an “irresistible party soundtrack”, and their catchy songs weave global dance rhythms with 80’s dance music, psychedelic rock, reggae and funk – think if Debbie Harry lead the Talking Heads and played guitar like Jimi Hendrix on a Caribbean cruise! You may have heard Lovewhip’s song “Wrecking Machine” on SHOWTIME’s hit TV show “Shameless”!

The original dance band, which has released 5 critically acclaimed albums, is lead by award-winning singer/songwriter/producer and internationally renowned guitarist Erin Harpe and her musical collaborator, husband/bass player Jim Countryman. The busy pair also founded boogie blues band Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers (which has three albums out on the VizzTone label), and were nominated for a Blues Music Award for their latest album “Let The Mermaids Flirt With Me: A Tribute To Mississippi John Hurt”.
