Harry’s been dubbed an “essential link” between the music of East and West. Having lived in Europe, Japan, India and Brazil, it was his five-year tutelage with renowned Rajasthani musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt (Grammy winner with Ry Cooder for “A Meeting by the River”) that forged his now signature east-meets-west style of music, infusing traditional American earthy 12-bar blues with a subtle hint of mystic Indian sounds. Playing lap-slide guitar, harmonica, cigar-box guitar, banjo, stomp box and the 20-stringed Mohan Veena, Harry envelopes his audience into “The Harry Zone” with his warm vocals and haunting original songs, plus his quirky reworks of some classic blues.
