Jesse Harris is a prolific guitarist, singer, and songwriter whose intimate style incorporates jazz, folk, country, and indie rock influences. Harris rose to national attention via Norah Jones' 2002 Grammy-winning album Come Away with Me, for which he played guitar and wrote the hit song "Don't Know Why." His own career, however, had launched well before his collaboration with Jones, including recordings with his group the Ferdinandos, Lisa Loeb, and Rebecca Martin. After breaking through with Jones, Harris continued to release his own distinctive solo albums, including 2004's While the Music Lasts, 2007's Feel, and 2012's Brazilian-infused Sub Rosa. He issued the 2018 trio album Aquarelle with guitarist Will Graefe and drummer Jeremy Gustin. Along with an ongoing association with Jones, he has continued to collaborate on varied projects with equally genre-bending luminaries like Petra Haden, Julian Lage, Bill Frisell, and as on 2021's Surpresa, Brazilian guitarist/singer Vinicius Cantuaria.
