About Me

Harry was seven years old when he began playing his guitar. At the age of 11 fate stepped in and forever changed his life thus beginning his true love and passion for the guitar. It was then his mother had taken Harry to his first ever live performance of a guitar player. That evening the guitarist was the one and only B.B. King. When touring and recording in North America and Europe with Grammy Award winning artists James Cotton Blues Band and later Sugar Blue, a host of opportunities led Harry to perform along such artists as Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, Muddy Waters, Johnny Winters and The Allman Brothers…atop the list. While playing festivals in Europe such as Montreux, North Sea, Madrid, Paris, Fountainblue, Leyzin Suisse, Middleheim along with countless others in the U.S. and Canada, Harry began to receive praise and acclamation from critics. “Searing rays of guitar,” “Pulls sounds that match a violin,” "Transmits his emotion from his heart, out of his arm, into his guitar and out of the amplifier," "Filled with passion," are just some of the reviews. Essentially Harry and his guitar live and breath as one.Harry's latest CD, "Face To The Sun" is available for sale & downloads @ www.harryhmura.com as is his 1st CD "Passion." Both having songs written, dedicated and in honor of special lives and people. The song "Haven's Home" on the play list above is one.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Founder of m4apes (musicians for apes), Harry’s grass roots campaign seeks musicians, bands and entertainers to promote and endorse the discontinuation of our closet relative Chimpanzees and Orangutans in entertainment. HH: “Musicians entertain, NOT Great Apes. We simple need to educate ourselves, our fans and others.” Their humiliation and violation is forced upon them at a young age. They’re subjected into unnatural lives from birth and discarded after their shelf life of 6-7 years. Read on and Gig A Damn @ www.m4apes.com - Speak for those who can't...
