What makes Harry tick

Harry grew up near Lubbock, Tx, and went to Texas Tech, where he sang and played guitar in a 4-piece band, playing for frat parties and HS dances. He began songwriting years later, while living in NYC, where he joined the Songwriters Guild and Nashville Songwriters Assoc He’s been writing and entertaining ever since. Now retired, he lives in Dallas, and has three CDs, World Class Dirty Old Man, Tahoka Daisy, and Garbageman. He is currently serving as A/R & Showcase Director for DSA, plus, Co-Director of the Song Contest He is our Songwriter of the Year for 2019-2020 and won Song of The Year 2020 for his song, She's So Texas, which was co-written with Chuck Ehrmann. Harry is the power that keeps DSA singing, the wizard behind the curtain that enables our DSA program whether live or on Zoom.
