Harpers combines folk, 60s rock and roll, and modern indie to create an eclectic and engaging live performance.
We can play from 30 minutes to 2 hours. We can perform full band or acoustic for smaller spaces.
“Their sound is a very organic, intimate, and honestly just real approach to their brand of gritty soul rock. The performance simply exudes a genuineness that can only come from a band that sings from the heart. Add the subtle yet unique composition and instrumentation decisions strewn throughout and you have the perfect blend to make Harpers a folk lover’s dream band.” -Reach Provo Magazine

Jacob Beck (vocals, guitar) and Chris Riding (vocals, keyboard, bass) met at summer camp in 2011. After a week of bonding over their love for Benjamin Gibbard and Bob Dylan, Jacob returned home to New York and Chris went back to Dallas. Over the next six years they exchanged songs via hotmail and pushed each other to write authentic, thought-provoking music.
Jacob and Chris both moved to Provo, Utah in 2017 and released Harpers EP. With the added chops of Brady Henrie (slide guitar, electric guitar) and Parker Ynchausti (drums) the band was complete and they began playing local dive bars and house parties. Harpers quickly gained a following in Utah, Las Vegas, and the Pacific Northwest, performing alongside The National Parks, Joshua James, Hand Habits, and many more.
With an EP under their belt and an album (with producer/musician Joshua James) in the works, Harpers shows no sign of slowing down.
