David Ryan Harris. "Sounds like a law firm, tastes like analog
tape,” says the soul singer/songwriter and guitarist. "I heard
music, melodies and stories in my head as a child. It never went away
and I hope it never does,” he says.
Born in Chicago and raised in Atlanta, David was drawn to the blues
after hearing songs by Son House, Robert Johnson and others. Growing
up at a time when Prince, Parliament-Funkadelic, Stevie Wonder and
other musicians were stretching the boundaries of popular music, he
began to understand that music could not and should not be limited by
our often narrow views of what it should be.
In 1991, David co-founded Follow For Now, a band that combined all of
the influences that had been shaping his musical vision: Bad Brains
meets Stevie Wonder and Public Enemy in Memphis. While the band had a
short life, it was David’s launching pad, as it allowed him to taste
the fruits of such a strange mess of musical ingredients. He signed to
Columbia Records in 1997, released a self-titled record and began to
spread his wings as an artist, writer and producer. In 2000, he signed
to Elektra with the band Brand New Immortals. Shortly after releasing
an album, the label folded and the band followed suit.
Today, David Ryan Harris calls Los Angeles home, but is
internationally recognized for playing guitar and singing in John
Mayer’s band from 2004-2012. He has also had the pleasure of writing
with, playing with and/or producing artists from Dave Matthews,
Cassandra Wilson, Derek Trucks, Santana, Marc Broussard, and Guy
Sebastian. Most recently, he produced and co-wrote six songs on
Indie.Arie's album, Songversation.
Since his major label days, David has independently released many
singles and solo albums, including the wildly popular 2007 LP, The
Bittersweet. On October 23, 2015, he released his fourth full-length
album, Lightyears, which includes co-writes with Derek Trucks, Susan
Tedeschi, Tyler Lyle and Joe Gil among others. The LP also features
guest appearances by John Mayer, Indie.Arie and Nikka Costa.
"Lightyears is me sending up a flare into the darkness from where I
live,” says David. It’s a soulful look into my life. My past and
how it informs my present. My sense of hope, my sense of humor.”
