Musician Profile #2: Harry D

Harry's music career began with piano lessons when he was young, the same as Jason W. Their music would cross paths around 1986 when they began recording themselves singing ad-libbed lyrics to instrumental music on the radio.

Then Harry got a Korg synthesizer in 1987 and helped form the band Pheonix with Brad P and Mark A.

This incarnation of Pheonix didn't last too long, but it led to the creation of the Two-Tones for which Harry played synthesizer and drum machine.

In 1988 Harry was part of a 3-man Christmas show in high school, along with Jason and their Spanish teacher Mark S. This led to the 50's & 60's band the Traveling Deengelburys which played on March 31, 1989, at a high school fund-raiser dance.

In the early to mid 90's, Harry, Jason, and Brad P got together as The Spartans. By now Harry was playing electric guitar and singing. This band only lasted a couple of years.

Then Harry and Jason went solo once again, playing much of the music The Spartans had played. This time they were known as The Duke Boys. This bridged the gap between The Spartans and their next band, Isthmus.

Isthmus was his next band. From 1995 to 1998 he played keyboards, electric guitar, bass, and drums at various times on the six albums that the band has released thus far.

He was the drummer for the short-lived band called Muffin Loaf where he and Jason played with co-workers for a one-night performance in 2003.

He has been in other various Metal XOR Studio projects including Binary Pipedream and Young Herbage.

The Studio has not heard the last of Harry. He will continue to be on the roster of musicians as long as the Studio is around.
