Nick Harper is a guitar player’s guitar player. Innovative and original, covering the full spectrum
of expression from delicate virtuosity to monstrous raw power. A songwriter of great depth from
soul-wrenching love songs to venomous raps and rants, peppered with humour and the
wordplay of a poet.
Nick is a mainstay of the British live circuit, with 30 years of constant touring, whilst appearing
worldwide from the Royal Albert Hall to Mount Everest. A veteran of the festival show, including
multiple appearances at Glastonbury, Beautiful Days and the Ed Fringe. He has an illustrious
pedigree and an eventful story up to now, but shows no signs of letting up on his prolific,
eclectic output and gripping, emotional live shows.
2024 saw Nick’s 14th studio album, ‘Earth Day Blue’, reach the top 40 of the official record store
chart. It was recorded at Abbey Road Studio 2 [The Beatles room] with legendary producer
John Leckie at the helm and Grammy winning mix engineer Tchad Blake applying sonic
excellence in the mix. Complete with an ensemble of friends providing backing vocals, taught
and conducted by Harper in the moment, it is a record with the electricity of immediacy, coupled
with a celebratory, inclusive feel.

‘He deserves to become a major figure in his own right’ The Guardian
