JP Harris has been writing, singing, and touring his own varied brand of country music for more than fifteen years. Even within the rapidly growing world of “underground” country music, Harris still considers himself an outsider, content to inhabit a gray area where punk rock ethos, avant garde aesthetic, and the workingman’s ballad mingle. Toeing the line and testing the bounds, he has amassed a unique amalgamation of fans across the US and the globe. Born in 1983 in Montgomery, AL, Harris proceeded to live a colorful life, leaving home at the age of fourteen via Greyhound bus and later vying for the faster freight trains that criss-cross America. Working as a logger, heavy equipment operator, seasonal farm worker, and occasional contraband handler, he finally settled on his now nearly twenty five year trade as a historic restoration carpenter. Spending most of his teens and twenties living in relatively remote cabins and camps, mostly without electricity or running water, his hardscrabble day-to-day life informed his connection to traditional music. Harris is also well versed in old time banjo and ballad singing, a passion of over twenty years, which he infrequently performs under the moniker “JP Harris’ Dreadful Wind & Rain.” JP has resided in Nashville, TN since 2011, where he can be found fixing old houses, riding old motorcycles, or picking through the garbage for useable refuse.

Harris has been steadily elbowing the definitive boundaries of “country music” wider with every album, both sonically and lyrically, and his latest piece of self-described “Avant-Country” is no exception. In a musical landscape of period-correct reproduction, “outlaw” internet posturing, and flavor-of-the-month variants on country, JP Harris Is A Trash Fire burns as bright as a dumpster ablaze in a Walmart parking lot on a moonless night; some will fear it, some will gravitate to its acrid warmth, and most will have no idea what to make of the situation. Even within the rapidly growing world of “underground” country music, Harris still considers himself an outsider, content to inhabit a gray area where punk rock ethos, folk art aesthetic, and the workingman’s ballad mingle. Check out any of his prior releases, his brilliant 2017 EP of duets Why Don’t We Duet In The Road featuring Nikki Lane, Kelsey Waldon and Leigh Nash or flip the page to yet another exceptional project Dreadful Wind and Rain – a string duo collaboration with Chance McCoy (Old Crow Medicine Show) that is an astute sampling of authentic old-time hillbilly mountain music.

Skinny Dennis presents our latest installment of our “TEXAS TAKEOVER” series with:

RATTLESNAKE MILK

From the southern plains of Texas, Rattlesnake Milk summons the sound of the prairie, mimicking the howl of coyotes and the pulsing rhythm of a lonesome junk train.  While farming cotton for a family friend, Lou Lewis found inspiration to record an eight-song demo listening to the classics played on KDAV 1590AM in the empty flatlands of his hometown. Those demos paid homage to Lou’s favorite Dust Bowl migrant songs and haunted melodic gems from the 50s and 60s.  Now, with the help of Corey Alvarez, Eric Pawlak, and Andrew Chavez, Rattlesnake Milk captures the ephemeral soundscape of the Texas panhandle in the studio and on the stage.
