Video: Didgeridoo workshop in Roanoke

Video by Jordan Fifer

Musician Peter Harper, who visited Roanoke over the weekend, leads a blues-rock-and-soul band called Harper and while he specializes in blues harp playing, the British-born Australian-raised front man frequently incorporates the didgeridoo into his music, slipped right between bass, drums and guitar.

The instrument, he said, "does fit in really well. I just wanted to write songs that had that in there. And it became my trademark. Now if I don’t put it in [songs], people will complain."
