Album Notes

A Denver based singer/songwriter, guitarist and producer, Jeffrey Harrison’s music incorporates introspective, narrative and confessional lyrics with blues, folk and rock sonic textures. Jeffrey has been compared to current popular artists such as David Gray, Pete Yorn and Ryan Adams as well as classic songwriters like Warren Zevon, Tom Petty and Jackson Browne.

Harrison is also well known for his fiery and passionate guitar work combining blues roots with melodic and harmonic improvisation in the mold of Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler.

PRESS:

…this pure dose of sound and art is tincture for the soul. Jeffrey Harrison has crafted a fine record with Venus Sessions. The album’s first cut; "Down from the Moon" sounds like an indie track straight off WFUV's playlist (the publicly supported station in NYC that helped break artists such as John Mayer and Norah Jones). Here Harrison sounds like a mixture of early Neil Young and the Thorns. "Gwendolyn" showcases his melodic abilities, and it's easy to imagine this song as a backdrop to an emotional scene in a hot television series (Brothers and Sisters perhaps). Harrison brings the energy up on "Venus of Astoria." He nails a hooky chorus and combines his rock roots with pop sensibilities. Venus Sessions is worth a listen for certain. If Jeffrey Harrison has his publishing together, there is little doubt you'll be hearing his songs somewhere soon. Earbuzz.com review of The Venus Sessions

…his voice is an accessible tenor friend and his lyrics are pure poetry, a tremendous pop/rock effort. Earbuzz.com review of Jeffrey Harrison EP

The pop wizardry of Eric Clapton is felt…Harrison shares his knack for good narrative and crafty pop hooks with artists like Tom Petty and Pete Yorn. J-Sin Smother Magazine.

Impressive release featuring melodic vocals and memorable lyrics
author: Diane and The RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team
                            
Jeffrey Harrison’s latest release “Venus Sessions” is loaded with impressive contemporary rock music. Harrison sings up a storm with his melodic vocals and memorable lyrics. The album’s production is high-quality, as instruments are well-mixed with a cohesive sound. The harmonies on “Gwendolyn” add to the rhythmical lyrics of this delightful melody. The upbeat and energetic “Venus of Astoria” is embedded with great power chords and a chorus that’s sure to have listeners sing along. A slow rock ballad, “Down From the Moon” is a distinctive little treasure of artistic creativity as the ambient tone showcases Harrison’s versatility in playing softer styles of music. Listeners who are fans of Tom Petty or Neil Young won’t be disappointed when listening to Jeffrey Harrison’s “Venus Sessions.”
