JACK HARRIS's songs take a compassionate look at things both common and uncommon, and see them differently. They are literate, curious, often in character, and always intriguing. His most recent album, 'The Wide Afternoon', produced by UK folk giant Gerry Diver (Sam Lee, Lisa Knapp, Tom Robinson), was released to universal press acclaim.
Jack was a showcasing artist at the legendary South By Southwest Festival (SXSW) in Austin, Texas at aged 17, and was the youngest ever winner of the Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk Award in 2005 (previous winners include Gillian Welch, Devon Sproule and Anais Mitchell). He has been the recipient of the PRS ATOM award for new music creation, as well as an EFDSS creative bursary for songwriting.
'Jack Harris is a priest of song who holds himself to a rigorous, ancient code of beauty most of us have forgotten exists.' Anais Mitchell
'A lyricist of great descriptive precision and a flair for revealing observation' – Folk Radio UK
'A unique lyrical mind' – Q Magazine
'A natural and captivating songwriting talent, 5/5' – The Telegraph
