Jack Harris is a young songwriter from Builth Wells, Wales who has recently made a splash in the world of contemporary folk music with a showcase at the South by Southwest Music festival in Austin, Texas in 2004 and a winning performance in the Kerrville New Folk Competition in Kerrville, Texas in 2005.
Jack began writing at an early age and wrote what he calls his first decent song, Breakfast, at the age of 14. He has been performing regularly in clubs near his home since he was 15. He took a year off after finishing high school to tour with his music, much of it with Eric Taylor who then produced his first full-length CD. Having finished in English Literature at Oxford, Jack in now living in London.
"Jack Harris' mastery of the guitar and his passionate singing frame the delivery of some of the loveliest language in contemporary song. His subjects, often inspired by other works of art - a painting, a statue, a Greek myth - are filled with a yearning that transcends personal desire - he's a voice of regeneration, of sure kindness in the face of cruel realities. Mr. Harris is a born poet, and it would be a mistake to say he is destined for greatness. He is already there."
- Andrew Calhoun of Waterbug Records
