You can take the Cajun out of Louisiana, but you can’t take the Louisiana out of the Cajun. Will Payne Harrison is a Nashville based singer/songwriter originally from Louisiana with a knack for storytelling and a longing for home. With his debut album, Louisiana Summer, Harrison challenges himself to explore greater emotional depths including earnest struggles with fear, love, faith and loss. In his previous band, The Onlies, Harrison landed tracks in David Letterman‘s Production Company’s We Made This Movie, The Shelter starring Michael Pare (Virgin Suicides), and the 2015 remake of the classic Black Beauty starring Luke Perry (Beverly Hills 90210).
Harrison’s debut album, Louisiana Summer, is an 11-track record slated to be out independently in September 2015. The album also features Fawn Larson on fiddle and harmonica, Caleb Edwards on mandolin and Katie Blomarz on upright bass.
With Louisiana Summer, Harrison and his band look forward to bringing a little bit of Nashville and a little bit of Louisiana to the rest of the world. Click here to check out Will’s website and below is a list of his tour dates for the rest of the week…
I do miss seeing him playing shows around Lafayette but, I know it has not all been for not… He has been working hard since moving to Nashville and I am looking forward to hearing more of his new music and seeing him perform this week. If you can try to attend one of these performances but, no worries if you can’t make it because he will be back in Lafayette for his Album Release Show Sept. 5th at Cite Des Arts.
