Ric Harris, Open For Business Review
Connect with Ric Harris: Website
While pursuing a goal, a person may find himself in a location he never thought possible. Ric Harris states that an article in Guitar Player magazine about the Old Town School of Folk Music inspired him to leave North Carolina and make his way to Chicago. A few months later, he caught Ira Sullivan and Joe Diorio at the Jazz Showcase and moved to Los Angeles to attend the Guitar Institute of Technology. After returning to Chicago, Harris formed his own jazz group and appeared in the area until 1991, at which time he retired to raise his children. Ric has returned to the music scene with a new vision, one inspired by artists such as Gary Moore, Dickey Betts, and Duane Allman. With the release of his debut blues album Open For Business, Harris is putting these experiences to good use. His latest effort sings with a blues affirmatio. That’s the short of it!

Harris’ songs focus on the blues idiom, with romping rhythms and outstanding playing by all. The chemistry between the band is evident and the group sound is smokin'.
