Music is fun

About Me

Multi-instrumentalist, educator, arranger, composer, improviser and all around nice guy Chris Harnett hates writing bios. He likes to play music, it is a lot of fun. He plays saxophones, flutes, clarinets, sings and dabbles on most others as well. He plays most often with Love Hijacker, The Idler's, Jazz East and Jason Hyward's 9 Lives. He has played in the depraved world of cruise ships. He went to school in Newfoundland to study music, and studied in Toronto at Humber College for a year, before realizing he could be paid to play instead of living in the hole. He still lives in the hole, but at least it's due to his habits instead of school. He plans to write another bio soon, but given his dislikes of bios, this may take a while.
