Singer Kemp Harris is an artist of remarkable depth and talent. Perhaps you recall seeing him as Ben Fowler in the movie Next Stop Wonderland (1998), or you may have seen him in the movie Beacon Hill (2003). As well as doing these movies he has also done voiceover work in a Steven Spielberg production, as well as appearing in numerous television roles and commercials.

If you are a fan of the stage, you may have seen him in a number of different plays including Hair, Tom Foolery and The All Night Strut. As he tells it, “I was a pretty good song and dance man." Included in his resume is work that he did with the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater, possibly one of his “most memorable experiences."

How could he top what he has already done? His second CD, Edenton (Righteous Music, 2006), reaches beyond the clichs of the blues genre, reflecting his willingness to fuse diverse elements in the search for a more modern and timely blues, may be the pinnacle of his artistic career.

Cross Harp Chronicle's David King interviewed Kemp on the release of Edenton, a CD which will certainly set him apart from others in his field.
