Singer/songwriter, educator, and storyteller Reggie Harris returns this November to the Harmony on the Green Coffeehouse Concerts in Lexington as the series celebrates its 5th season. A folk legend, Reggie returns with a show featuring his own songs, classics, re-imagined traditional tunes, and stories from a life spent performing and teaching all over the country.
Harris is a musician, storyteller and educator who has been a vibrant force in musical, educational and historical circles for over 35 years. Steeped in the tradition of African American spirituals, folk, gospel, rock and the music of civil and human rights, Reggie’s writing, research, field work and recordings have amassed an amazing repertoire of African American music, blending spirituals and freedom songs, the old with the new. A songwriter of great depth and passion, Reggie’s songs reveal thoughts about life and love and some of the deep aspects of the human experience and cover topics from his own personal journey to world issues and history.
“Reggie appeared in our very first show back in 2022 and we’re thrilled to welcome him back for a solo show this time,” says Mark Morgan, the coordinator of the series, “He’s an amazing talent, and his songs and stories are a night of live performance that leaves you feeling better about the world and your place in it.”
