Nick Harper...he's played in session with Dizzee Rascal and Calvin Harris, as well as with classical guitarist Craig Ogdon for Charles Hazlewood on Radio 2.Nick Harper...performed gigs on mountains (from Snowdon to Everest and Kilimanjaro – for charity) and is recognised as one of Britain’s finest and most accomplished acoustic guitarists and acerbic lyricists.
Nick Harper...worked with the likes of the Levellers, Jimmy Page, Squeeze and, of course, his father, the celebrated folk artist Roy Harper.
Nick Harper...dubbed the 'human jukebox' for his ability to cover the songs of over 30 artists from pop to punk, folk to funk, at the drop of a chord.
Son of the legendary Roy Harper, Nick's unique style, distinctively soulful voice and passionate delivery (that place him somewhere between Rufus Wainwright and Jeff Buckley) combine for a live performance that is at one spontaneous, enthralling and emotionally-charged. Biting satire, charmingly caustic wit and covers of anything from Zappa to Zeppelin, set him a league apart from anyone you may have seen or heard before. Described as 'One of the finest guitarists of his generation' - it is easy to see why.
Nick Harper is a folk troubadour, an acoustic balladeer - with a touch of rock 'n' roll on the side. He's emo skiffle. Pastoral hard rock. Progressive soul.
