David Harland is an explorer of beauty, darkness, light, and mystery. His music has been described as innovative, introspective, lyrical, and expressive. David is a singer/songwriter and fingerstyle guitarist who believes music, at its best, holds the power to reach the deepest parts of our lives and makes the world a better place.

“Harland recorded his latest album, The Escapist, in the spring of 2024 at The Library recording studio in Minneapolis, MN. Veteran producer Matt Patrick produced it.

Harland’s idea was to create an album of spacious, intimate, meditative guitar compositions that could help transport the listener to another place, escape the day-to-day stressors, and bring in some peace and calm. Thus, the album title, The Escapist.

The album features cello and violin on select tracks by the excellent Cierra Alise Hill, and a bit of ambient electric guitar by Matt Patrick.

The release party show will be at the Aster Cafe on October 11, 2024, from 9 to 11 p.m. A short opening set of solo guitar and cello will feature music from the new album.

Then, there will be a celebratory full-band set featuring:

David Harland
Nikki Lemire – Harp, vocals
Cierra Alise Hill – cello, violin, vocals
Barb Brynstad – bass, vocals
Tim Zhorne – drums”
