"Music is a medium of sacred exploration and a vehicle-bridge to other planes of existence. In its creative potentials, there is an ability for one to learn about themself and the universe they inhabit. The universe is based in vibrations of sound and light so humans who work through the form of music are so fortunate - to experiment (knowingly or unknowingly) in the process of attunement to the background - and to be able to hear and study the many differing approaches going toward the center. Music is the sacred world science. "

Harry began playing guitar at the age of six. He was exposed to the blues before he reached his teens, and soon developed a love for the music. He honed his chops at local blues jams, playing with the older guys and coming into his own as a guitarist. He was eventually invited to sit in with the James Montgomery Blues Band. For the next few years he made guest appearances with the band all over New England. With James, he played with Steven Tyler at a benefit concert in Boston, shared the stage with guitarist Johnny A and blues harmonica legend James Cotton, and opened for B.B. King and Johnny Winter. During this time he also befriended KD Bell, a New England blues singer who featured Harry on many shows. Between 2004 and 2006, Harry played and recorded with his band Bad Spectrum. When he was involved with the band, Harry expanded his influences to include traditional English and American music, jazz, country, psychedelic rock and various world music and classical influences. Now, in addition to guitar and singing, he is also proficient on sitar, oud, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, doumbek, bowed psaltery, and is a student of Carnatic music. Grounded in tradition but always seeking new sounds, Harry's eclecticism exceeds the bounds of genre, creating above all a music of feeling.

His is a good eclecticism - a engagement with multiple approaches out of true artistic curiosity, not because of posturing or politically correct thinking.
