Go Slow - Joel Harrison

Evergreen - Joel Harrison

Showcasing warm & tender vocals, a force field of guitars, insistent percussion and an overall ambiance that feels like an intimate one-on-one live showcase. Uptempo, happy-go-lucky “Do Ya” offers tribute to “the happiest place on earth” beside his lady, while “Lighthouse” is an ode to endearing (and enduring) patience as he awaits her return, “Home” echoes the feelings and sensations of a cherished childhood and finally the cozy reflective track “City Girl” (offering a consummate display of Harrison’s guitar savvy) shares the universal ache of missing the one you love. 

Recorded in Sydney with Golden Guitar-winning producer Matt Fell, Nashville with Grammy winning producer Randy Kohrs and Adelaide with emerging talent Ben Green; “PoFoCo” displays the mojo of a man with a message who is indeed ready for the world stage.

From thd upcoming EP Lucky Man

Lucky Man – a song that ultimately has its roots back in 1985, when the cult classic Back To The Future was released. A young Joel watched Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly playing Johnny B. Goode on VHS in the early ’90s and the rest is history.

“It’s the first real memory I have of wanting to play the guitar,” Joel says.

“Marty with that big, bright red Gibson, singing and playing, and bringing the house down at his parents’ high school prom.”

Fast forward two decades and Joel found himself on a flight home from Nashville reading Fox’s autobiography, ‘Always Looking Up’. At the end of the book lies a picture of Fox’s previous title, ‘Lucky Man’. That’s all it took for inspiration to strike and soon after the chorus of Lucky Man was written.

“The chorus came surprisingly easily with Michael’s help [laughs] and I shaped the rest of the song around that feeling you get when you realise all the little things in your life you can be grateful for and that make you a lucky man, or a lucky woman, or a lucky person,” Joel explains.

Lucky Man is an upbeat track with subtle nods to some of Joel’s musical influences, including Jason Mraz,  John Mayer, Vance Joy and Van Morrison.
