His fingers dancing over the guitar strings, his head thrown back then bending deeply forward, eyes often shut, now one foot poised in midair, he feels the music. He is the music.
Rick Harris, Jr. has lived in The Shenandoah Valley for many years, and has played all the venues and open mics, such at The Art Groups monthly First Friday in Mount Jackson. He blends country, bluegrass, jazz, classical, blues, honky-tonk, rock and roll, and just about any other flavor of music you can think of in his original songs.
How does he categorize his style?
I dont know. I just like music, he says. If you dont have one style of music, no one can put you in a box.
