He and the band also became the official rock band of the Philadelphia Eagles during the 2004-2005 football season. Harry has also studied songwriting with Rob Hyman, songwriter and keyboardist for the 80's band the "Hooters" as well as songwriter of the Grammy nominated ..1 hit by Cyndi Lauper, "Time after Time". Most recently, Harry has had the opportunity to work with Grammy nominated producer David Ivory (The Roots, Erica Badu, Patti LaBelle).

Harry holds a B.S. degree in Music Education from West Chester University and is currently(2007) an elementary music teacher and is working on his Masters degree in Music Technology.

With all that he has done and accomplished so far, his lifelong goal is to someday win a Grammy. If his past is any indication of what the future holds, this talented singer/songwriter will have many 'memorable' things to look back on.
