The late-night prowlers of the honky-tonk
circuits are already catching on to his songs. When Artie Dean Harris
busts out into "What's In Her Genes", "Tractor Factor" or
the crowd favorite "Jim, Jack & Jose", they sing right
along. This is a sure sign that this hot country newcomer is 'Big Star
Bound'!
This young man with credits including Broadway musicals and Hollywood
pictures definitely does not lack high marks in the category of talent.
This is clearly evident the very second Artie Dean Harris takes the stage!
His stunning good looks and chiseled physique only add to his powerful
voice
and "let- loose" attitude on stage. He has all the right moves!
"I am always disappointed to purchase a concert ticket only to
see an artist stand there and tap his toe. What's the excitement in that?
In my opinion, you can get the same satisfaction listening to their CD
in the car," says Harris.
So where does all of his energy and superstar charisma come from? Maybe
it was New York City where Artie Dean Harris performed night after night
for nearly two years on Broadway's musical "Footloose." Or
was it his experience as an actor in the Paramount Pictures movie "Blue
Chips?" Possibly
it was his summer job early on in his career performing at Opryland theme
park. You might even say performing in Japan, Canada, Mexico and forty-four
states may give him the confidence it takes to become successful in this
business.
"My God-given talents have lead me on a wild adventure through
every phase of the entertainment industry, but I have always stayed true
to my roots. I was not about to let New York City take the South out
of me. I am blessed to have had so many wonderful opportunities at such
a young age and luckily, was smart enough to use those experiences to
enhance my career in country music."
This Kentucky native is country to the bone, but his urban experience
is obvious. As the singer aims to put the honky-tonk back into the country
music scene, Artie Dean Harris flips and tumbles and performs high-flying
handstands, leaping into the crowd then back onto the stage to sing about
fast women
and beautiful horses. Think Merle Haggard, Tom Cruise and a world-famous
circus act all rolled into one young cowboy crooner. Artie Dean Harris
brings pure energy to country music. There is much more than toe-tapping
in this show!
“I feel it is important to make sure everyone that attends my
show is having as much fun as I am. They say you can’t please everyone.
That may be true but I’ll die trying." |
