About Me
THE GIFT OF MUSIC HAS BEEN HANDED DOWN TO THE HARRISON'S FOR GENERATIONS. FROM MAXIE'S DAD, A TALENTED SINGER AND PLAYER WHO TAUGHT HIM AT A YOUNG AGE TO PLAY GUITAR AND SING, HIS UNCLE FARRIS, A MASTER GUITARIST WHO FRONTED HIS OWN BAND IN SC FOR OVER 30 YEARS(THE MOONLIGHTERS) AND HIS GRANDFATHER RICHARD WHO PLAYED MANDOLIN, NOT TO MENTION A LONG LIST OF UNCLES AND AUNTS WHO PLAYED INSTRUMENTS, SANG, AND DANCED WHENEVER THE CHANCE WAS THERE TO SHOW WHAT THEY COULD DO. FOR DECADES, MUSIC HAS BEEN A PART OF THIS FAMILY, GENERATION TO GENERATION.
THUS, COMES THE BAND "TRUE BLOOD". IN 1997,THE BAND STARTED TAKING FORM. PLAYING IN A REMODELED SMOKE BARN IN THE BACK YARD OF THEIR HOME IN NC, THE BOYS STARTED PLAYING WITH DAD, MASTERING THEIR INSTRUMENTS AT A SURPRISING SPEED, AND BEING INFLUENCED BY GREAT ARTIST SUCH AS, ELVIS, MELLENCAMP, TOM PETTY, JOHNNY CASH, HANK WILLIAMS SR. BON-JOVI, STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN, JOHN FORGERTY, MARTY STUART, BRYAN ADAMS AND BANDS RUSH, JOURNEY, FOREIGNER.STRAY CATS AND MANY MORE ICONS, THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON.
IN 2000, MAXIE MADE THE DECISION TO SELL THE LONG TIME FAMILY HOME PLACE AND CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS AND TAKE TO THE ROAD IN RV'S, TRAVELING AND PLAYING WHERE EVER THEY COULD BE HEARD, FROM COUNTRY HONKY TONKS, ROCK N ROLL BARS, RESTURANTS, AND STREET FESTIVALS FROM GA, SC,NC, TN,AND IND, SATISFYING CROWDS OF ALL AGES AND GENRES.
IN 2004, THEY RELOCATED BACK TO NC, THE BAND WAS SIGNED TO A INDIE LABEL IN CAL. WHERE THEY TRAVELED TO RECORD A CD TITLED "ROAM". DUE TO A BAD BUSINESS DEAL, THE CD NEVER HAPPENED AND THE CONTRACT WAS TERMINATED IN 2006.
THE BAND HAS BEEN TOURING AND WRITING NEW MUSIC FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS AND NOW IN 2009 PREPARING TO RELEASE THEIR SECOND SELF RELEASED CD WITH GREAT NEW SONGS AND A FEW FROM THE ORIGINAL RELEASE "GYPSY GIRL". THE BAND IS IN THE PROCESS OF RELOCATING THEIR HOME BASE AGAIN IN MARCH FROM NC TO NASHVILLE.
WITH NEW MUSIC COMING AND THE MOVE TO MUSIC CITY, THE BOYS ARE HOPING 2009 WILL BE THEIR BREAK OUT YEAR! TRUE BLOOD WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS EVERYWHERE FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT. SEE YA'S ON THE ROAD! KEEP ON ROCKIN'
