Richard Sleigh is a high-octane blues musician who has performed on stage with Bo Diddely, Taj Mahal, Paquito D’Rivera, and many other well known artists.

In addition to being a consummate player, Richard is well known as a pioneer and designer of high-performance customized harmonicas.
Jerry Zolten has performed with Richard Sleigh for decades. Known as “The Jive Bombers,” their vocal harmonies, guitar, and harmonica playing cover a range of musical styles, including blues, swing, and rockabilly. In addition to being a great musician, Jerry Zolten is a Professor Emeritus at Penn State University and has written extensively on blues, gospel, country music, and rock & roll.
