Chris
Harford began writing songs and playing guitar
while attending Princeton High School in the
mid-70s. A self-taught player and painter with
a degree in performance art from Massachusetts
College of Art, his first glimpse of indie success
came in the early 80s with Three Colors, a self-propelled
recording band based in Boston (and comprised
of Harford, Hub Moore of Slash/London's HUB and
Dana Colley of DreamWorks' Morphine). This prolific songwriter
began developing his solo career by producing two
collections of demos entitled, The Saddest Songs
Ever and The Anatomy of Melancholy. Recorded over
a period of four years with Adam Lasus at Studio
Red in Philadelphia, PA, and Greg Frey at Graphic
Sound Studios in Ringoes, NJ, some of those very
songs appeared on Chris' Elektra Records debut, Be
Headed.Since Be Headed, Chris has released
the double CD, Band
of Changes, Comet, Wake, Sing,
Breathe and Be Merry and Live
at CBs 313 Gallery. |
