THE MARK HARRISON BAND
THE MARK HARRISON BAND – THE GEORGE HOTEL – SATURDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER – 7 PM
There is no one in music quite like Mark Harrison. With his unique and acclaimed rhythm section, featuring the extraordinary musicianship of Charles Benfield (double bass) and Ben Welburn (drums/percussion), he is widely considered one of the most original and interesting artists around.
His highly individual, all-original music has taken him and the band to some of the top venues and festivals in the UK, attracting compliments wherever they go.
A thrilling, rhythmic, finger-picker and slide player, with a very distinctive style, Mark is also a great songwriter and his songs cover all manner of subjects. With catchy tunes, lyrics than intrigue and engage, and striking rhythms, they make you smile, think and move. He takes elements of roots music, including folk, blues and gospel, to create something new that is very much his own genre.
