The Sunday Sessions Project is thrilled to welcome back Harry Walther of “The Harry Walther Band”. http://www.harrywaltherband.net/ Harry and the band have been big supporters of TSSP and although the entire band couldn’t join us Harry will be doing a solo acoustic set this Sunday.
Harry’s music can be best described as Americana with a huge nod to Rock and Roll. He loves story telling. He often starts a song with a compelling title and then builds from there. He has been playing music, “all my life”, for 35 years. His parents loved music and you can hear their musical tastes in his song writing. His father was a fan of old country and his mother was big into Elvis. At 13 he got his first guitar and he hasn’t put it down since. He merged rock with his other musical influences and his brand of high energy Americana was born.
Harry brings a Springsteen like energy and showmanship to his live shows. Harry and the band aim to entertain and when the audience responds that partnership is like “lightening in a can”. The combination of classic covers, high energy rock and exciting originals makes them a great Philadelphia area band. This band lineup has been together for seven years although Jeff and Chris have been with Harry forever and that longevity shows in their tight arrangements and respect for each other. Harry also enjoys doing acoustic solo shows where he can create a more intimate musical experience.

They are currently working on a new CD that will showcase their song writing as well as their live energy. Harry’s goal this year is to get as much of his original music out as possible and “to kick some serious butt”. Just like so many musicians in our area, the virus has temporarily dried up the bands live performances which can be tough on people who thrive on audiences and need shows to keep fans interested and continue fan base building. They are looking forward to the return of their gig schedule in the local vibrant music scene.
