QUICK BIO

Nick Harrison Rarely does a young singer-songwriter have the insight and wisdom of an “old soul.” Nick Harrison is this rarity, his lyrics are cunning and intelligent, his voice authentic and powerful, and his melodies unique and memorable. (Think Dave Matthews meets Neil Young.) Nick is a Fairfield Connecticut native and has been writing and performing his songs for about five years, playing acoustic and electric guitars as well as piano. His newest songs reflect his time spent in the American Southwest, where he has been touring and “getting inspired by the desert silence…” Before that Nick was working hard on his self-titled album with collaborators like drummer Liberty DeVitto (Billy Joel) and Fairfield resident, bassist Scott Spray. The album was finished and self–released in January of 2008. It consists of ten of Harrison’s original songs and spans many genres including blues, bluegrass, folk, rock and pop, all the while remaining unmistakably Nick. But, it’s his performance that gives Harrison his passion. Not only does he sing with a raw emotion no one so young should possess; he’s often charming, funny, and ironic in between songs. By seamlessly blending the songwriting traditions of folk with the rhythmic sensibilities of pop, Nick Harrison’s songs keep his audiences enthralled and always wanting more.
