Chris has a harmonica problem.

Markel picked up the blues harmonica in early 2026 and has practiced every day since, without exception.

These days he needs at least an hour a day, or he goes crazy.

He plays live almost every day, sometimes at more than one spot in a night. Anyone with a guitar is a jam partner.

Alone, he jams anywhere, from a bench in the city to a mountaintop with a view.

Markel never leaves the house without five harmonicas in five keys: A, C, G, B♭ and F.
