Mark Harrison Band

Nobody writes songs quite like Mark Harrison.

Constantly touring and multi-awards-nominated, Mark Harrison has a reputation for being unlike anyone else out there and his highly individual music takes him to some of the top venues and festivals in the UK attracting acclaim wherever he goes.

Mark writes songs about things most people live and think about but don’t hear songs about, and songs that tell stories they haven’t heard before. Proper songs, with catchy melodies and memorable lyrics.

Those songs have been frequently heard on BBC Radio 2, including on its Pick of the Week show on a playlist containing many of the world’s top pop artists.

The band has a unique sound and style that is very much their own genre, and incorporates elements of classic roots, rock, folk and blues. They have been compared to classic artists of the golden era such as The Band and Little Feat. It’s music to make you smile, think and move.

The band features the amazing musicianship of Charles Benfield (double bass/harmonies) and Ben Welburn (drums/percussion), who form a unique and much-admired rhythm section.

Mark has released eight albums, which have been acclaimed across a wide range of areas of the music world, receiving a very great deal of airplay and highly enthusiastic reviews in the UK, Europe and the US. With his outstanding tunes, wry observations, striking rhythms and stunning guitar playing, Mark Harrison is widely considered one of the most original artists on the circuit.
