MORE ABOUT ME
It all started with a gift from grandfather to grandson. When Bryan Harkness was 10 years old, his grandfather gave him an old guitar and taught him how to play. By the time Bryan was 11, he was playing on stage at bluegrass festivals around Texas, and so began his musical journey.
At 18 years old and fresh out of high school, Bryan began his professional music career, touring for more than 4 years with legendary country and western artist Ray Price. During this time, he also shared stages such as the historic Ryman Auditorium, Nashville's Grand Ole Opry and D.C's Kennedy Center, accompanying such musical luminaries as Gene Watson, Willie Nelson, Vince Gill, Lee Ann Womack, Kris Kristopherson, The Judds, and Martina McBride.
An avid songwriter who draws his inspiration from everyday life experiences, Bryan feels his music most closely resembles that of Alan Jackson and George Strait.
"Just anything in life that sparks something," says Bryan. "By using your imagination, you put yourself in that place or in someone else's shoes."
When Bryan is not touring he spends his time teaching guitar and song writing for aspiring artists at his home studio in Lufkin, Texas. He recently finished recording his first studio album at Houston's Tierra Studios, set to be released in 2010 by Tierra Studios.
Bryan looks forward to touring with his own band in support of his upcoming album.
"The sky is the limit, " says Bryan. "I'll just ride the wave 'til it lets me off."

Hey Bryan. You're a mighty talented guy. It's an honor to be your friend. I'd love to try and catch you live sometime. I get to Nashville a few times a year. Take care, my friend. Give a holler if you get to sunny Florida. ~Roberta
