Nick Harper

Guitarist and songwriter Nick Harper is pleased to announce details of a special 12” vinyl record titled The Wilderness Years Vol. 2 featuring tracks taken from his acclaimed studio albums ‘Blood Songs’ (2003), ‘Treasure Island’ (2005) and ‘Miracles for Beginners’ (2007) to be released in October 2015 on Vinyl 180 Records. He will also be returning to the live circuit this August as part of a special residency at the Edinburgh Festival 2015 at The Jazz Bar, before a run of October/November UK headline dates to promote the new record. The latest record is the second in a three part series that marks the first time Nick’s extensive back catalogue has ever been released on vinyl and will culminate in a very special limited edition box set of all three compilation vinyls set for release on Record Store Day 2016 with a special companion book. More details of the boxed set will be released over the coming months. From personal introspection to biting political satire via a charmingly caustic wit that would make Groucho Marx proud, for over a decade he has been dazzling audiences and reviewers alike with this heady mix of virtuosity, boyish charm, showmanship and sheer bravado. His talent and showmanship were recognised in 2003 with a (Glasgow) Herald Fringe Angel award for excellence in live music during his Edinburgh Festival run. Nick’s most recent work has seen him appear in the studio alongside Lana Del Ray playing guitar on her cover of Leonard Cohen’s hit “Chelsea Hotel No 2” from her acclaimed 2014 album ‘Ultraviolence’ as well as appearing on recordings from Newton Faulkner, Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) and The Levellers.
