Kemp Harris Returns to Waterbury, Vermont
Waterbury Congregational Church is pleased to once again feature Kemp Harris in its April 18th “Music @ the Meeting House” concert series. This is a special opportunity to share in the musical traditions that Harris explores – from American roots, to blues, jazz, and African folk. Harris’s rich and expressive voice and his skillful work on the piano make for a remarkable and thoroughly engaging performance.
Harris has produced two CDs of his original music: "Sometimes in Bad Weather" and "Edenton" and has shared the stage with blues and jazz musicians from Taj Mahal to Gil Scott-Heron to Koko Taylor. He has played at clubs and venues all along the eastern seaboard. The Waterbury Record, reporting on Kemp’s last appearance in town, said he “wowed the crowd” with his “miraculous rhythm and blues.”
While perhaps best known as a singer and piano player, Harris is one of those rare artists who demonstrates a gift for any expressive form he touches. He has composed music for television, documentary, and dance performances, and Kemp was a resident artist for songwriting at the Wang Center for Performing Arts in Boston. As an actor, Harris has worked in film, television and radio, including a role in the award-winning feature film "Next Stop Wonderland." He is a well-known storyteller and is invited to festivals and special events throughout the New England area.
Mr. Harris will be performing in the sanctuary of the Waterbury Congregational Church (enter through the front doors) on April 18th at 7pm.
