Bird In A Broken Clock - Jack Harris
Our next LCM featured artist Jack Harris - Singer/Songwriter is a London based singer-songwriter, who is releasing his latest album 'The Wide Afternoon' at the Winemakers Club this Saturday 19th November, 2016 (bells and whistles are promised). Support comes from the lovely Emily Mae Winters. Jack is a true bastion and regular of the London and UK folk circuit. The new album is a bigger, darker record than Jack’s previous, critically acclaimed offering, 2012’s 'The Flame and the Pelican'. ‘The Wide Afternoon’ is an album of mystery and melody, set against the expansive sound-palette and intricate arrangements of Gerry Diver (Sam Lee, Lisa Knapp, Tom Robinson). Gerry’s swooping violins and eerie percussion are at the record’s sonic heart, perfectly offsetting songs of dangerous men, literary women, stolen horses and vanished birds. All are delivered in husky, intimate vocals and fluid guitar picking. Our LCM #TrackOfTheDay is a live version of 'Bird In the Broken Clock' taken from another great Before The Gold Rush session.
Jack was a SXSW showcasing artist at 17, as well as 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. Those days are gone, along with most of Jack’s youth and vigour, but he’s still happy to find himself touring extensively, bringing his riveting live show to appreciative audiences, and making as much music as he can.
