Dave Harris grew up in Durham in the North East of England.
On his 14th Christmas, his parents gave him a guitar and so began his ambition to write and record his own songs.
The 60s and 70s were a rich period in musical history and Dave grew up with so many influences from The Who all the way to Little Feat via John Martin and Neil Young.
Dave began performing in bars around town initially playing covers but increasingly his own original songs.He released a debut album 'August Moon' in 2011, which he rearranged and remastered in 2025.
Although he writes on acoustic guitar, his albums always present an eclectic range of genres from folk fingerstyle to blues, Latin and Jazz. It's difficult to pigeon-hole his songs which often veer off in different musical directions.
He has released 6 albums of original material , often collaborating with longtime friends.
Check out his music on the Albums page. These include August Moon, The Usual Suspects, Snow on Northern hills, Highly Strung, Hand Picked Tunes. and his latest work Short Stories.
