Originally from Philadelphia, PA, this upstate NY-based husband and wife duo tours throughout the year, performing for audiences of all ages at theaters, folk clubs, festivals, colleges and schools. Recently, Reggie has been co-writing with fellow Wind River recording artist David Roth, as well as with songwriting sensation Greg Greenway, while Kim has been pursuing a seminary degree. Kim and Reggie have also composed and arranged for television, radio, video, and multimedia presentations, and their skill at doing so, and flair for performance are dynamic. Drawing equally from folk-songs (such as those written by Pete Seeger or Phil Ochs) contemporary songs (like their own and David Roth's), and traditional songs, (like Wade In The Water) the Harris' are masters of arrangement and energetic delivery.

Growing up in Philadelphia, Kim and Reggie Harris both heard lots of music in their homes, churches, and schools. They've listed everything from Bach to folk, gospel, jazz, and rock as an influence on their music and writing. Married in 1976, they've been performing at colleges and large and small venues all over the world for nearly twenty years now, and log in a huge number of widely varied performances every year, often delivering shows that become highly interactive with audiences enthusiastically singing and clapping along.

Their also is a huge, dynamic, and important social element to their music. They used their songs, stories and narrative to discuss slavery and African-American's quest for freedom and justice throughout history. They've sung about African-Americans whose work and accomplishments are not well-known, like Paul Robeson. And they've sung about people who have been wrongly denied justice in America, like Rodney King.

In The Heat Of The Summer reflects the diversity of their performances, and captures on disc the spirit of their live show, providing a vibrant display of the emotion and intimacy that make their music so accessible.
