Known for his evocative and soulful performances, Harley has spent more than twenty years captivating audiences with his expressive slide guitar and rich vocals. Recognised by The Guardian as “spellbinding” and praised by Roots Magazine as “a slide guitar master,” Harley continues to prove why he is a standout figure in roots music.
His latest album, Morning Sun, released in October 2024 and produced by Nigel Stonier, showcases his most accomplished songwriting to date.
