Bio
Original Americana
Okay, only one of them actually rides a Harley. And only two of them are actually retired and divorced. But all three members of the Harley String Band have applied their second childhood to making music.
Emerging from the robust Washington DC singer-songwriter scene, the Harley String Band is deeply rooted in folk traditions, yet their songwriting is creative and expansive. Their acoustic sound is both familiar and refreshing. All three members have won multiple awards from the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest.
Their new CD, Didnt Come to Stay Long, elaborates on the sin and misery theme the band is known for. The haunting and ironic Guantanamo is a subversive volley in the culture war. The Pride of the White Star Line presents a classic folk telling of the sinking of the Titanic, while Living Lives Apart provides a weirdly upbeat take on divorce. In contrast, Thank You for Calling PizzaCo offers a humorous perspective on privacy rights.
The band's first CD was (Surprise!) a children's album. Subtitled Nature songs for kids, parents, and teachers, The Cougar of Haycock Woods celebrates outdoor learning and nature's power to inspire. Highlights include The Snake Song and The Courtship of Miss Mouse.
