Song premiere: "Shadetree" by Brett Harris

Brett Harris
18 January 2016

Virginia-born, Durham, NC-based Brett Harris is best known for his work as a featured performer and core band member on the recent series of all-star concerts honoring Big Star’s classic Third album, with which he has performed on three continents; and as auxiliary guitarist-keyboardist on the 2012 reunion tour by power-pop progenitors The dB’s. Harris’ solo work takes a similar Southern-Fried Fabs perspective, as heard on his 2010 debut, Man Of Few Words, and this winning single from Up In The Air, the new album, due out March 4, 2016 on Hit the Deck Recordings/ Redeye.

The leisurely, gleaming, acoustic-guitar-driven “Shadetree” is “possibly my favorite performance on the album,” Harris told Big Takeover. “The storyline is about no one in particular but I was constantly being drawn to the concept of renewal and admire the protagonist’s logic.” Have a listen!

You can pre-order Up In The Air from Pledge Music.
