When people first hear 30-year-old acoustic guitarist/vocalist COREY HARRIS, they often think they are listening to one of the old blues masters. A native of Denver, Colorado, Harris fell in love with music at an early age, and made his own music with a toy guitar he received at age three. He learned to sing and play by ear, When his mother turned him on to Lightnin' Hopkins at age 12 (the same year he got his first real guitar), Corey found his true musical calling.
After attending Bates College in Maine, Harris, along with his newly acquired National steel guitar, moved to Cameroon in West Africa in 1991. While there, Harris' love for acoustic blues continued to grow, as did his understanding of the importance of the indigenous juju music ("the place where blues began," according to Harris).
After returning to the United States, Harris moved to the rural Louisiana town of Napoleonville and began teaching French and English, all the while continuing to play his blues and refine his craft moonlighting as a street musician in nearby New Orleans. He quickly devoted his life to music full time.
In the past 2 years, Corey has played with B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Koko Taylor, and Billy Bragg, just to name a few. Currently living in Charlottesville, Virginia, he continues to draw upon his myriad of influences to deliver one of the most unique, yet timeless sounds around!
