Former frontman for the
Replacements-inspired Solid Goldsteins, Brady Harris' solo career
has diverged from his previous work into a sound altogether more
indicative of his Texas roots. Bearing considerable vocal
resemblance to John Lennon, Harris crafts moody country-rock with a
hard pop edge. Strongly melodic with a confident wit, he combines
well-traveled themes with stoic romanticism. Having paid his dues as
a starving artist, busking on the streets of Paris and London,
Harris found himself in Los Angeles recording one album with his
former bandmates before releasing his solo debut in 1997. That
album, Next Door to Nowhere, received favorable reviews and was
followed by considerable media attention at 1999's NXNW music
conference. 1999's Good Luck Stranger was met with near unanimous
critical approval, and Harris went on to tour Europe in late 2000.
He spent the next two years touring the states where he racked up
numerous awards, including $5,000 from the Pontiac Vibe Car
Commercial Contest, which helped him finance 2015's highly
anticipated Lone Star.
