Undaunted. The dictionary defines it as "not discouraged; not forced to abandon purpose or effort."
To any New England fan of harmonica driven blues, the word has become synonymous with Hugh Holmes, a.k.a. The Undaunted Professor Harp, who summers on our local stages. This perennial performer's monolithic presence and equally behemoth sound defines him as one of the few unyielding hardcore bluesmen left on the circuit today. How he acquired his moniker from music legends Muddy Waters and Solomon Burke has evolved into the stuff of lore. But make no mistake about it, Professor Harp is not some alter ego by any means. It is the embodiment of an uncompromising rhythm and blues stalwart, who has graced just about every area venue equipped with a stage and a liquor license.
With such a protracted and accomplished career under his belt one might be led to believe that his new CD, They Call Me The Professor, is merely the latest in a string of recordings. In all actuality this collection marks the Professor Harp's first mass release in his 30-plus year career. And for the occasion, Harp received more than just a little help form his friends, assembling a cadre of powerhouse players such as Doug James (Roomful of Blues), Bob Margolin (Muddy Waters, Mike Labelle (Young Neal & the Vipers) and the late John Packer.
