Late Night Harp Girl

Rock and jazz harp with ALTITUDE

About Me


Late Night Harp Girl is available for private booking for cocktail and dinner parties, weddings, receptions, and other gracious entertainment occasions. Please message her here to schedule solo harp music for your next special event in the Denver Metro area.
IN BRIEF: A visit to the 2004 Lyon & Healy International Jazz & Pop Harpfest in Salt Lake City, UT turned LNHG’s harp world upside-down. Since then she has been polishing her music skills with jazz harpist Cindy Horstman (2005 Jazz Artist of the Year, Sammons Center for the Arts, Dallas, Texas.) A recent close encounter with the amazing Deborah-Henson Conant has firmly confirmed her going out on a limb. She can be spotted at various local events trying to expose the general public to the unusual sounds of jazz and rock harp and its associated addictive hazards.
LATEST PROJECTS: LNHG is tickled pink to be collaborating with several innovative local bands.
Her latest projects involve GOOD BEYOND HOPE, SOUNDS FROM A VIBRATORY UNIVERSE, JUMBO JET, and THE ANGRY HAND OF GOD.
The styles range from electronica alternative rock to ambiant, soul, heavy metal, and jazz. The harp is an incredibly versatile instrument, rich in textures and effects, and limited only by one’s imagination. It is exciting to experiment with and carve a new path, taking it out of context and featuring it in the most unexpected settings.
Please contact me if you are looking for unusual texture, and support improvisation to mesh with your next musical project. From polished recording sessions to unrehearsed improvised performances.
MEMBER: American Harp Society, and local Chapters of AHS
