JP Harris was born just before Valentine’s Day 1983 in Montgomery, Alabama, and left home before finishing eighth grade to chase life on the road. After years traveling by freight train and living off-grid in rural New England, he traded his work truck for a van and a guitar, turning from carpenter and sheepherder to reluctant “professional musician.” His early love of punk evolved into a deep reverence for the folk, blues, and country traditions that now shape his self-styled “Avant-Country.”
Since moving to Nashville in 2011, Harris has released a string of acclaimed albums—including I’ll Keep Calling, Home Is Where the Hurt Is, and Sometimes Dogs Bark at Nothing—and his latest, JP Harris Is a Trash Fire, produced by JD McPherson, pushes country’s boundaries even further. Equal parts satire, reflection, and blue-collar poetry, it cements Harris as an outsider voice burning brightly in the gray space where punk grit meets timeless country soul. When he’s not on tour, he’s likely restoring old houses, riding vintage motorcycles, or scavenging for usable scrap.
