Markus James // Anne Harris
Halo Rider is a collaboration between critically acclaimed California based Alt-Blues singer/songwriter Markus James, and Anne Harris- a Chicago based, internationally known Blues/American Roots fiddle player and singer/songwriter. Their music is a kaleidoscope of deep grooves, atmospheric instrumental passages, harmonies, and poetic flashes in a musical terrain that ranges from acoustic old-time, to amped-up Hill Country, to electrified trance Blues rock
“The music of Halo Rider is refreshingly new, yet feels very familiar. Anne Harris and Markus have created hauntingly beautiful music…This is truly music to be savored.”
-Jesse Finkelstein, Managing Director, Blues Radio International
“Between them they make heavily Blues-infused music which is edgy, haunting, cinematic, compelling, soulful, and deeply rooted… Thoughtful, exploratory, and evocative music with a memorable presentation, this is an alliance not to be missed.”
Richard Shurman, Blues producer and historian
“Once you have witnessed Anne Harris play the violin, you aren’t likely to forget the experience any time soon. It’s not just the wondrous music she makes drawing her bow across the strings, it’s also the spirit of the music emanates from her physically. She inhabits the music, or maybe the music inhabits her, but it is impossible not to be drawn under her spell.”
-(Blues Wax)
