Reggie Harris is an innovative guitarist, a fearlessly creative vocalist, and an engaging storyteller whose concert performances are infused with joy. It’s clear to all that he deeply loves singing and that it is more than his work. But that’s not all.Uniquely committed to “music as a community building vehicle,” Reggie’s music shares insightful perspectives on issues of life, history, education and human rights. In the spirit of his mentors, Pete Seeger and Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon, (founder of Sweet Honey in the Rock), Reggie is a master songleader who loves to help people discover that they can make a difference at any age, wherever they may live.
Using performances, classroom modeling, and experience based workshops, Reggie has expanded the knowledge base in the fields of music, history, and the social sciences through groundbreaking writing, research, fieldwork, and recordings. His significant work with students and teachers has aided in the expansion and enhancement of curriculum standards at all grade levels.
Reggie has helped teachers, students and community leaders to become more effective agents and advocates of student-based learning. His knowledge and understanding of arts integration goals and techniques makes him an effective resource for creating synergy and understanding for students and educators. Lectures and teacher in-service presentations developed in collaboration with the Kennedy Center Partners in Education program are part of his on going outreach.
Mentored early on by Dr. Charles Blockson (a foremost authority on the Underground Railroad) and with years spent researching connections to the leaders of the Modern Civil Rights Movement, Reggie is one of the premier interpreters of the use of music in historical movements for social change.
