I stumbled onto these guys doing a terrific version of Good Morning Blues. All top-notch musicians. I found out they are from Croatia. The one doing vocal and harp is Neven Mijac.

If anyone has information about them, please share; I couldn't find much myself.

Here is the link for Good Morning Blues, enjoy:

Neven's obituary has a bit of info

That version is cool, I definitely like his kinda laid back approach to harp, though he sure drops a killer solo, and his vocals.

Sadly, he passed in 2016.

His band was called Telefon, later renamed Telefon Blues. The video you linked to was from his last album, with a new band of the same name, Nothing Toulouse.

Obituary (which I translated with Google translate) link:

Reply to mmarquez re neven mijec

Thanks so much for the reply; the obituary was helpful. I was able to find the last album, "Nothing Toulouse" on Amazon, and actually on Spotify, where I could listen to the whole songlist. There are several other gems on the album, good harp work.
