Bob Harp is a singer &
songwriter of moody folk music rooted in a timeless Americana tradition. His
album Good Misery covers road weary
travels in melancholy, driving tones.
Accompanied by his guitar and
harmonicas, Bob plays regularly throughout the San Francisco area and West Coast. His
influences include the alt. country revival of the 1990’s (Gillian Welch,
Whiskeytown), but are rooted further back in melodic folk and roots rock of late
the 1960’s and 1970’s (Neil Young, Van Morrison).
Good Misery was released
in summer of 2005 and is available in record stores throughout the San Francisco area,
online, and iTunes for download. The tracks ‘Nashville Ballad’ and ‘Another Day’
have been played on Bay area radio stations KUSF and KPFA, where Bob has also
played live in studio several times on long running roots music shows ‘Los Gatos
Superhighway’ and ‘Sing Out!’
Bob is currently preparing
material for a new album due for release in late 2008.
