FolkLib Index - Wisconsin Harp Musicians

          This page lists links for current and former Wisconsin resident musicians that play the Pedal, Folk or Celtic Harp, as well as Wisconsin-based groups with a regular Harp playing member. All known recordings by these artists will be listed in my forthcoming book, "FolkLib Index: Wisconsin Discography".

          Please write if you know about any Wisconsin Harp player or a Wisconsin-based group that includes a regular Harp player, that is not listed, or if you have additional information about, or links for, a listed artist/group.
          For non-Wisconsin Harp players and groups, see the Harpers/Harpists page.
          Note: to avoid confusion with the stringed harp, the Blues harmonica is never referred to as a "harp" anywhere at the site.

          no known recordings = artists/groups which will not be listed in my book, unless a recording by them can be found.

          "name - Discog and other links" = this artist/group has a separate Discography page and all their links have been moved there
