You wouldn't think a sound so inherently natural could be born out of emails and long distance phone calls but after having played together twice, Brianna Lane and Cahalen David Morrison saw that a collaboration was bound to happen, and so it did. Somewhere in the correspondence between Minneapolis, MN, Tierra Amarilla, NM and dozens of solo tour stops, Harbor Collective was born.
Brianna's sweet, gravelly voice has the purity of youth and the prudence of old age, and her guitar playing is rooted in obvious years of performing. She is also a well seasoned traveler, knitter, and runner.
Cahalen hops back and forth between instruments effortlessly, showing
prowess on most things with strings. His voice lies somewhere between ragged and beautiful, but is always steady. He is also an accomplished baker and babysitter.
Together they will be performing a mash of tunes; originals, covers,
and traditionals, mostly from the old-time, blues, and country traditions, and these two nearly-veteran songwriters will not disappoint. Foot stomping, soul warming, and everything in between, Harbor Collective will leave you loving the true American music tradition.
They will be joined occasionally by the forces of a large collective of musicians,
webbed throughout the country. The Harbor Collective has members in most states, so keep your ear to the ground.

words about "the Monday EP"...
"Harbor Collective's warm down-home songs are beautiful sad things that sound of deserts and oceans--perfect front porch picking."
- Ellen Stanley, KFAI
Excellent music! I especially like "Sweet Little Cob of Yellow Corn." Brianna's voice on "Birds" is exquisite. And I really like the badass yodel leap in the harmonies in "Nobody in the World. " I can't wait to hear it all live! : ) Good luck with everything, I'll see you in April!
