Saturday Shenanigans: Jo Harman

Soul. Blues. Gospel. Beatles-worthy pop. These are the core ingredients of Jo Harman’s People We Become, a modern album rooted in the classic, timeless music of past generations. “I’m not trying to fit in anywhere,” admits Harman, whose super-sized voice fills the record’s 10 tracks. “I’m just trying to write classic songs, and present them with classic production. When you try to chase what’s going on at the moment, then it’s going to sound old very quickly.” 

"Sometimes you hear a voice that leaves you speechless" Huey Morgan, Fun Loving Criminals on his BBC Radio 2 Show

"On course to be the finest UK female blues and soul voice" Gavin Martin, Daily Mirror

"Stunning. Harman's music mainlines the human soul" Classic Rock Blues Magazine

“An exquisite album rooted in the classic, timeless music of past generations, and quite possibly the finest blue eyed soul vocal performance you’ll hear all year.” – Get Ready To Rock

“Jo mines pop, soul and gritty blues with conviction” – The Daily Mirror
