| HISTORY OF HARRY 'JAZZ SONG'- Rooftop madness on BalconyTv Add to My Profile | More Videos History of Harry are a relatively new Dublin-based band. This in itself is hard to believe. Harder still, is that the bands average age is 21 years old. With mature vocals, adept musicianship and a distinctly unique song-writing style, History of Harry's talent belies their years.I first discovered History of Harry in 2005. They were playing in The Sugar Club, Dublin. At first I was drawn in by lead singer Richard Farrells' powerful voice. This is a rock vocalist that suits the bands rock/funk/blues style, is perfectly in tune, and at the same time sounds instantly original. He is backed up by the groovy, intricate drumming of the drummer, the incredibly driving, funky bass-lines provided by Brian Murphy, and the melodic riffs of guitarist John McGrath. Their diverse range of songs showcases their seemingly effortless knack for riffs, hooks, and memorable vocal melodies, which often drift into three-part harmony. Drawing from genres such as funk, soul, blues, folk, and plain old rock n roll, History of Harry have the songs and the ability to switch from one to the other freely and readily, often within the same song!In a review such as this, it is extremely difficult to pinpoint the band's main style or influence(s). And this is what makes them truly compelling. Ask one of their fans what they sound like and they wont be able to tell you - a testament to the bands versatility. The only way to find out is by hearing them yourself. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.Click below to buy the high quality 320kbps download from TuneTribe.comThe Mystery of Harry: Originally a blues guitarist from Louisianna, Harry lived his life in the shadows.(As seen in the photo) He played music to live and lived to play music "I've never come out to the front to do my thing. I'm just doing mine now. I don't want to be no rich guy. I just want to live comfortable. That's all. And to love people and to have people to love you." A fond traveller,(especially on trains: he believed the real rhythm of blues comes from the sound of a train )the whereabouts of this man is still unknown but his music still lives on in the form of'History of Harry'.He was a teacher and a mentor to the members of this special band, so his soul and passion lives on in their hearts and music. 'Trainman' a new song written by 'History of Harry,' is dedicated to this legendary man.This will be released on our 'my space' page in the next few weeks. |
