Folk Bands and Artists
Harrowman
Farnham
Combining intricate guitar playing with soaring vocals, Harrowman weaves an enchanting style of contemporary alternative folk that appeals to troubadour, roots and acoustic music fans alike. The English Surrey hills and rural Hampshire border countryside provide the backdrop and inspiration for many of Harrowman’s songs, with personal experiences, social observations and local historical tales all thrown into the melting pot. Experiences of the natural world further abroad also seep into the lyrics and themes, from the rugged Australian Outback to the misty forests of Southeast Asia.
Honing performance and stagecraft at folk clubs, select London venues and around the Guildford music scene, Harrowman has developed a live repertoire of charming original songs that blend captivating guitar playing with an impressive vocal range and a canny ability for melodic songwriting that is as soulful as it is poignant. Collaborating with talented cellist Malachi Siner-Cheverst continues to enrich the texture and depth of the songs further, as evidenced on recent EP release ‘Fugitive’.
Harrowman’s debut album ‘Rite of Way’, recorded at NEM WildWood Studios and released in October 2019, portrayed a songwriting talent in full flow, delivering concise storytelling and lyricism at its most urgent and compelling. 2020 follow up, the six song EP ‘Fugitive’, looks set to build upon this momentum and push the songwriting envelope further still.
With a growing reputation as a dynamic live act, Harrowman continues to delight audiences across the South of England, enthralling an ever growing fanbase with a unique guitar style, beautifully crafted songs and the intriguing stories that surround them.
