From an early age, music was always a part of Bo Harris’ life. He began singing on stage at the age of three with his parents in church. Though Bo sang and played drums through his developing years, it was not until his senior year of high school that his talents took center stage. Even though he had not yet received a calling from God to play music the rest of his life, music was always in the back of his mind. Soon following, he felt that God told him explicitly that music would be the tool he would use to serve his Heavenly Father. Bo enrolled at Murray State University in his home state of Kentucky, and it was during this time that God began to open doors for him to lead worship in many different settings.
He led worship at a community college’s campus ministry, two campus ministries at Murray State, as well as several different churches. But as Bo entered the summer following his third year at Murray State, he found God placing two pressing matters on his heart that he found highly unlikely to happen at this time. The first was that he would lead worship at Centrifuge, and the second was that he would transfer to Belmont University. Sure enough, he was asked to lead worship for Centrifuge as a part of the Northwest Travel Team. Bo also decided to remain obedient to God, as he was called to transfer to Belmont in the fall of 2006. This became a new place where he could further pursue his calling for music.
Since arriving at Belmont, he has continued to write songs and has found a supporting band that he has been able to play and record with. However, he has not forgotten his home state of Kentucky since coming to Nashville. He has returned home every Sunday to Melber, Kentucky to lead worship at his home church. This past summer, Bo has prolonged his position as a worship leader at Centrifuge by working on the Hawaii special team, and also has played his largest show thus far. On June 19th, 2007 Bo opened for David Crowder Band in Paducah. Bo, describing the moment as he walked onto the stage, said, “I expected to be nervous because of the extreme size of the crowd, but when I got to the microphone, I experienced a sense of peace as if I were at home in that moment. When I left the stage, David Crowder said to me, ‘that was intense man.’â€
Bo Harris looks to build on the great strides he has taken as an artist in recent years and prays that God will use his music to, first and foremost glorify Himself, and then bless all of those who hear it
