Emerging singer-songwriter Charlie Harris, known for his poignant storytelling and soul-stirring performances, returns with DIGITAL DUST (SIDE B), the highly anticipated follow-up to his debut album, DIGITAL DUST (SIDE A). Joined by his band, KEEP GUESSING, Harris is set to bring audiences on an immersive journey that celebrates the beauty of the present and the power of living fully in each moment.
With roots firmly planted in the folk-rock tradition, Charlie’s music transcends genre conventions, blending intimate acoustic tones with the raw edge of rock. After years of honing his craft and writing hundreds of songs, Charlie embraced the realization that the “perfect” time to release an album doesn’t exist. Driven by this epiphany, DIGITAL DUST (SIDE A) marked his fearless leap into the music scene. Now, with Digital DUST (SIDE B), Charlie takes his next bold step, creating an experience that beckons listeners to savour each moment.
DIGITAL DUST (SIDE B) explores themes that speak to the universality of struggle, resilience, and joy. In each track, Charlie invites fans to revel in the present with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. From poignant ballads to foot-tapping anthems, the album captures an authentic snapshot of living in the now—encouraging audiences to vibe with the music and enjoy the ride.
The album is the product of a close collaboration with renowned producer Robin Walsh. This partnership began serendipitously in late 2023, when a mutual friend introduced Charlie to Robin, who immediately recognized the potential in Charlie’s demos. Together, they meticulously whittled down a catalogue of over a hundred songs, ultimately selecting 19 that resonated as both personal favourites and crowd-pleasers. The decision to split the collection into two releases—SIDE A and SIDE B—pays homage to classic vinyl records, inviting listeners to enjoy each album as its own immersive experience.
Recording sessions were intentionally organic, capturing the raw, live-band energy that defines Charlie’s style. With Charlie laying down guitar and vocal tracks first, followed by drummer and bassist contributions, the album has a palpable energy that feels grounded and unfiltered. Robin Walsh contributed additional guitar and organ, and even enlisted his girlfriend’s vocals to complement Charlie’s, adding depth to the music’s harmonies.
Charlie Harris invites listeners to join him on this musical journey, a journey that promises to resonate deeply and linger long after the last note fades.
