G.S. Harper, an independent singer-songwriter and guitarist, was born and raised in San Angelo, Texas where he taught himself to play guitar at the age of 12. He began playing live at the age of 14 and everything since then has been what he calls a long and crazy ride, one that's not going to stop any time soon. For the last 16 years, Harper has called Cleveland, Ohio home. Its gritty, hardworking, rust belt attitude gives depth to his songwriting and has proven to be a good match for his Texas roots.
Harper has played all over the United States, in small corner pubs and major arenas. He performs his original work and works as a freelance guitarist and bassist, working with bands and solo artists, from local independent musicians to national touring artists. Work on his fourth release, Sixteen Winters, wrapped up this spring. Harper is currently on the road for the Sixteen Winters tour. Harper's previous albums were Waiting for April (2002), Live from Cleveland (G.S. Harper and the Lonesome Tomatoes, 2006) and The Belmont Sessions (G.S. Harper with Andrew Zeager, 2008).
