Jo Harman visits Cardiff’s Acapella Studio this Spring, ahead of touring with Lamont Dozier
The tour will be an evening of unplugged acoustic backing to Lamont’s own versions of these iconic songs with music direction by bandleader/producer Fred Mollin. Lamont will be telling the stories behind the classic songs. Jo Harman will be a featured addition to the performances.
Jo says of her involvement in the project. “For me, two major pillars of modern music are The Beatles and Motown. To play even a small part in this, well, historic record is genuinely mind blowing for me. It’s such a total honour to be involved’.
In the meantime Jo can be seen and heard at Cardiff’s Acapella studios on March 10
