David Ryan Harris

You???ve either got soul or you don???t. David Ryan Harris most definitely does. The singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist has built an impressive catalog of soulful stories that instantly captivate.
???I???ve always thought soulfulness comes from telling stories in a way that makes people relate to them,??? he says. ???That???s what it is. People believe in what you???re saying, because you???re singing from the heart.???
That???s exactly what Harris has done throughout his near three-decade career. Whether it be in early bands such as Follow For Now and Brand New Immortals or over the course of six full-length solo albums, he tells stories that resonate. He???s carried this same spirit while performing with the likes of John Mayer, Dave Matthews, and Santana or producing for Cassandra Wilson and Guy Sebastian???with whom he co-wrote the RIAA platinum-certified ???Battle Scars???. Most recently, it drove 2015???s Lightyears, which boasted guest spots from John Mayer, India.Arie, and Nikka Costa. Along the way, he received acclaim from All Music Guide, Glide Magazine, Elmore Magazine, Performer Magazine, AXS, Relix Magazine, and many others in addition to performing on Fox, CBS, and The CW in between packed tours. His next chapter unfolds on his 2017 seventh offering Songs For Other People. Culled from collaborations with co-writers, the songs orbit around a cinematic theme.
