Stan Harrison was born in Philadelphia and grew up in New Jersey which explains a lot of things. Soon after graduating from Rutgers University in New Brunswick he moved to New York, but not until spending 2 1/2 years with Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, which explains a lot of other things. He has recorded and toured with everyone from David Bowie, Duran Duran and Radiohead to Serge Gainsbourg, They Might Be Giants and The Borneo Horns. He also composed music for documentaries as well as for things that in no way could be considered documentaries. Let’s leave it at that.
He is currently promoting his 2nd CD, The Optimist, multiple copies of which can be purchased at CDbaby or Amazon.com (His first one, The Ties That Blind is also still available).
Stay tuned for the posting of live shows and all other things remotely interesting.
