About

Richard Harris

A trumpeter and Songwriter from Adrian, Michigan

Richard was born into a talented musical family and thus was exposed to music from a young age. As a small child, he looked forward to beginning music lessons on the trumpet. Some of Rich's idols who heavily influenced his play and lyrical style are Miles Davis, Chet Baker and Chris Botti. 

Richard recorded the first of several critically acclaimed albums, Songs From My Heart, while living in the Washington D.C. area. Richard now has six albums to his credit and is the leader of his own jazz group. Richard's sixth and most recent album features some familiar Christmas classics and is entitled Christmas In My Heart.

Richard continues to make his mark on the music scene since his recent relocation to his home state of Michigan. He can be heard playing at venues throughout Michigan and the Midwest playing jazz, rock, blues and other popular music with his own recording band and is often asked to accompany other well-known musicians. 

Jazz writer Robert Sutton has said, "Harris defines class and tastefulness as well as professionalism and, most importantly, heartfelt passion. The emotions that Harris conveys with his trumpet both soothe and stir the soul... his performance is stunningly beautiful."
