Marc Harris – Destin
November 22 @ 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Born and raised in Nashville, Marc Harris spent much of his early childhood in his Father’s apparel store, which outfitted some of classic country’s legends. Influenced by the greats of country and rock, Marc developed his own twangy melodic sound, Harris started out playing night clubs in Nashville throughout high school and toured the southeast playing frat parties during college. Marc made a conscious decision to catch a tour bus heading out of town in the early 90s and hit ‘The Road’ with Lee Roy Parnell as well as John Berry, Stacey Dean Campbell, among others. After touring as a sideman for country artists throughout the 90s, Marc moved to Point Washington Florida in 2001 where his creativity and songwriting flourished. His original music has been dubbed “Southern Surf”.
The Athens Flagpole referred to Harris’ music as “Guitar Strong Modern Rock,” while the Destin Beachcomber described it as “The best kind of singer-songwriter material- intelligent, well crafted, and accessible to twang lovers and haters alike.” The Birmingham weekly aptly called Marc’s music “A Mix of Renegade Country and Beach-Tinged Tunes.”
