Harmonious Wail


Harmonious Wail seamlessly blends an eclectic array of styles - Django Reinhardt-inspired Gypsy swing, American jazz standards, and contemporary folk - to create their own distinctive sound.

"It's Jethro Burns' fault", says Harmonious Wail founder and leader Sims Delaney-Potthoff of the band's unique, enticing style of mandolin-heavy gypsy-jazz. For seven years Sims studied with Burns, the legendary jazz mandolinist, laying the foundation for Harmonious Wail's acoustic string sound. He furthered his studies at Boston's Berklee College of Music, honing his skills while immersing himself in the "Gypsy" music of Django Reinhardt and Stephan Grappelli (Sam Bush, Dan Hicks, Lester Young, David Grisman, and Louis Armstrong are also on his list of musical heroes). He founded Madison, WI-based Harmonious Wail in 1987.

Vocalist Maggie Delaney-Potthoff is a captivating performer. Equally at home scatting over a bebop tune, soaring on a solo, or blending with the Wail's tight vocal harmonies, she delivers both powerhouse tunes and ballads with confidence and ease. Her sensual, sinuous movements (a product of her background in dance and theatre) and her use of a cardboard box as a "drum" (played with brushes) add to the charm she exudes onstage.
