It all started with an old guitar that lay abandoned at his grandfather's house. Ten-year-old Bryan Harkness picked it up and lovingly replaced its strings. His grandpa taught him to play. By the time he was 11, Bryan quit playing baseball to study guitar. His musical career blossomed from there.
At 15, Bryan jammed out with bluegrass and country groups in clubs surrounding Lufkin, Texas. Right out of high school he toured professionally for more than 4 years with the legendary country and western singer Ray Price. Bryan has also played with country greats such as Gene Watson, Willie Nelson, and has shared the stage with; Vince Gill, Lee Ann Womack and The Judds. He's been on the stage of the historic Ryman Aduitorium and the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville a whopping five times -- Three television programs and two radio spots.
Bryan compares his music to country singers Alan Jackson and George Strait. He is an avid songwriter who gets inspiration from his everyday life.
"Just anything that sparks something," he said. "By using your imagination you put yourself in that place or in someone else's shoes."
He also teaches guitar, runs sound for a local college, and pre-produces songs for other music artists in his home studio. Bryan hopes to continue producing original music and tour with his own band alongside big country acts.
"Hopefully the sky is the limit," Bryan said. "I'll just ride the wave until it lets me off."
