Nashville based country troubadour JP Harris comes to the UK with his full band & a brand new album “JP Harris is a Trash Fire”. on Bloodshot Records. Produced by the legendary JD McPherson.  A sometimes sparse, sometimes jarring country album of Harris’ originals, loudly and violently squelching any attempt to pigeon-hole a song into any subgenre of country music. Even within the rapidly growing world of “underground” country music, Harris still considers himself an outsider, content to inhabit a gray area where punk rock ethos, folk art aesthetic, and the workingman’s ballad mingle.
 
Aged 14, JP left school and home and began the travels that would frame many years of his life; much of this time spent living ‘off grid’. Initially moving to Oakland, California, Harris then lived the life of a hobo, crossing the USA by ‘freighthopping’ on trains eventually landing in Nashville, Tennessee. During his transient period, Harris worked a wide range of jobs and picked up skills and trades, including sheepherder, logger, heavy equipment operator, farm labourer, & restoration carpenter. JP honed his musical skills too including writing songs, singing, playing guitar and clawhammer-style banjo playing. His 2011 debut album “I’ll Keep Calling” was released shortly after his arrival in Nashville TN
 
“JP Harris is a Trash Fire” is Harris’ fifth album.
 
“JP Harris is no less than a living legend to a lot of the independent country performers.  He might be a “trash fire,” but his flame of dogged resistance is an inspiration to many, and his new album adds to his varied and vital musical legacy” Saving Country Music
 
“it’s a great, authentic country record, full of great songs. it’s easy to see how this album could ignite Harris’ music career. ” Americana UK
