Excited to welcome JP Harris and his band to The Hall November 20th! Tickets on sale FRIDAY at 10AM!In a musical landscape of period-correct reproduction, “outlaw” internet posturing, and flavor-of-the-month variants on country, JP Harris Is A Trash Fire burns as bright as a dumpster ablaze in a Walmart parking lot on a moonless night; some will fear it, some will gravitate to its acrid warmth, and most will have no idea what to make of the situation.

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. Check out any of his prior releases, his brilliant 2017 EP of duets Why Don’t We Duet In The Road featuring Nikki Lane, Kelsey Waldon and Leigh Nash or flip the page to yet another exceptional project Dreadful Wind and Rain – a string duo collaboration with Chance McCoy (Old Crow Medicine Show) that is an astute sampling of authentic old-time hillbilly mountain music.
Harris has been steadily elbowing the definitive boundaries of “country music” wider with every album, both sonically and lyrically, and his latest piece of self-described “Avant-Country” is no exception. Produced by longtime friend and collaborator JD McPherson, the highly anticipated next chapter JP Harris Is A Trash Fire comes out September 2024 on Bloodshot Records.
Scott Tournet is known for being the frontman for Elektric Voodoo, a founding member of Grace Potter & The Nocturnals (2003-2014), Blues & Lasers, a solo artist, and producer. With The Nocturnals he was a co-writer on 3 Top 40 albums and scored a gold record for the song “Paris”.
