Described by Guitarist Magazine as “one of the UK’s finest contemporary roots musicians,” Harley continues to push the boundaries of Americana, blues, and folk. His expressive slide guitar playing, lauded by The Guardian as “spellbinding,” has cemented his reputation as both a master of the craft and an unmissable live performer.

Harley’s latest album Morning Sun, recorded with producer Nigel Stonier at Airtight Studios, has been celebrated as his strongest work to date, featuring contributions from Michael Blair (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello), Mark Lewis (bass), and CJ Hillman (pedal steel). His previous release, Static in the Wires, reached #2 on the iTunes Blues chart, underscoring his enduring international appeal.

Known for his dynamic and emotive performances, Harley’s upcoming USA shows promise an evening of musical storytelling and virtuosic musicianship. Following these US dates, Harley will return to the UK for a 16-date winter tour, continuing his remarkable journey as one of modern roots music’s most captivating voices.
