We cross the desert by the power of song

About Me

My aim is to make music that sounds like Buddy Holly but it seems to sound like this (see above & below)


Get this video and more at MySpace.com

I'm a featured artist at download.com , here's what the editors say about my music:

"The U.K.'s Roger Harmar concocts cool, soothing musical marinades chock full of zesty world fusion flavors. The talented bassist anchors his ambient recipe with melodic bass lines glazed with free-form jazz, guitar, and keyboard parts. The intriguing arrangements and strong musicianship are somewhat reminiscent of jazz great David Axelrod."
