About this user
Original American Southern Roots & Blues!. Born in, and growing up around, Nashville, Tennessee, USA, somewhere between the cotton fields and the speak-easy's, blues was everywhere around Lance. Playing ukulele and piano practically from birth, he got his first guitar at age 13. Over the years Lance developed his own style and techniques, weaving the stories of his life with his guitars singing along in unison.
After over 15 years on the road in 25 countries living and playing the blues with his partner Donna Rae (Chris Rea placed Lance & Donna "Long Gone" at #2 in his Rolling Stone Top 10 CD picks in 2005!), the Lance Harrison Band was the only natural progression! Quick on the heels of the successful Fall 2005 CD release from Lance & Donna "The Sun Will Shine", the Spring 2006 debut CD from the Lance Harrison Band "No Rest For The Wicked" is already getting rave reviews. Totaling 26 original compositions, the two CD's reflect the amazing diversity of this talented singer/songwriter. Lance sings with a strong earthy voice and plays slide guitar, lapsteel and guitars accompanied by; Paco Saval (Chilé) on keyboards / vocals, Manju B (Germany) on bass, Ralph Schläger (Germany) on drums and Donna Rae (USA) on percussion / vocals.
Live, the Lance Harrison Band is a fast moving, vibrant show of all original songs peppered with a few classic blues favorites.
