It's so cool to see the younger generation getting into the Blues. I'm 62 yrs old and have been playing over 40 yrs and love jamming the Blues. I'm still learning myself.

Might be worth mentioning that she is playing an instrument that costs about $35 US. Nothing fancy, but in the right hands (lips, tongue, mouth…) the wooden comb produces such a sweet and rich tone. Amazing vibrato! Mahalo for sharing… 😎🎶🤙

Amanda you are incredible. I'm 77 and have always owned a harmonica. As a traveling sales rep I spent many hours on the road and basically just breathed through my harmonica. I discovered you on line recently. St. James infirmary and The Way-Blues solo and others literally brought tears to my eyes. You have totally inspired me. I wrote down the score from St. James Infirmary and I will learn to play it first. I am very happy for you. You have a Blessed future in front of you. Thank you so much. Sincerely, your very inspired student, emac

I have been playing harmonica for 50 years this is as good as it gets.
She is brilliant..just brilliant

In 1967, in a still rural fringe of Bethesda, MD, I was on a balcony maybe 4 floors up. I couldn't sleep, & there was a cool breeze & a deep quiet that extended into the surrounding forest 100 yards away.
There were 3 towers to this apartment complex, around a simple courtyard, & I was smoking my cigarette in peace when a dark figure ambled out to the concrete center & sat down on one of the benches. I felt like we were close in our sharing of the night, when from that figure came a blues harmonica solo that absolutely blew me away. It lasted maybe 5 minutes, followed by maybe another 5 minutes of ambience. I was in an afterglow, & didn't want to ruin a perfect moment but calling out.
Then that solitary figure ambled back the way it had come. I never did know who that was.
That was 54 years ago, & I can still hear it, & feel it.
This reminds me of that moment.

So good to see a young woman playing with such grace.

My 6 year old asked me what a harmonica was. I showed her this video and we now have a blues harmonica fan 💙

Keep the "Blues Harp Vibes" alive and PLZ NEVER You're an inspiration to many, many people.

Man, i’ve been playing about 55 years myself, but I’ve never played like that… Back then when I first watched an old black fellow played before me, and I loved that sound I told him, he said here I’ve got an old harmonica, I’ll let you have… He said, here’s an easy song for you to play and learn it was called old brown jug, he played it I picked it up and I played it the first time, he said, oh you’re fooling me you’ve played before I was only 11 years old… I said no I’ve never played my life. He looked at me and he said young man that’s a gift from God.

[raythompson]

I'm 57.. I wanna play like her when I grow up ! I'm a rookie.. but encouraged by this solo

[JhaeMo]

Man…when played right the harmonica has such soul. And you played it right!

[justinwilkins]

The greatest harmonica player ever and I’m from the Mississippi delta. No one has ever done it like Amanda Ventura

[tatankakevin]

I've played the blues harp for over 40 years and it's nice to hear a young lady do such a great job of it!

[greg]

Don't you just love it when you come across something brilliant by pure accident sensational

[junefrost]

Awesome! Beautiful, soulful ... and I am thrilled that a young woman is the musician making that mouth organ sing the blues. Keep up the great work Amanda - you are gonna shine as a Harmonica Star!

[johnshaw]

Absolutely fantastic! The best harmonica I’ve heard in a very long time, very melodic, very sweet.

[FarleyLukkien]

Can't wait to get my harmonica soon and start practicing....That was amazing!

[ljprep]

Outstanding, Amanda. There is much soul in your blues. Bless you for sharing them with us.

[dejavuwampas]

She is an awesome talent. She’d be the first to admit that it takes everyone in the studio to make a sound this great. Kudos to everyone involved.
