Neil Harnett is from White Rock, BC and has enjoyed such highlights as a Juno Nomination, three singles on the Canadian charts, two full length CDs, three videos with national exposure and shared concert billings with Jeff Healey, Chuck Berry and The Doobie Brothers.



In 1988, Neil’s composition, Ain’t Good Lovin’ Enough was recorded by Diamond in the Rough and made it to the top ten of the Canadian AC charts. The buzz created by Neil’s performances and growing catalogue of tunes earned him his own deal the following year. Neil’s debut CD, Times Like These, met with enthusiastic response when it was released on Bruce Allen’s Penta label in the spring of 1989. That’s What I Need, and the title track both made it into the Top Ten of the Canadian AC charts plus Times Like These had a supporting video that was played on Much Music.



Neil was nominated for a Juno Award, as Most Promising Male Vocalist in 1990



The tunes from the new Somewhere CD encompass a blend of rock, blues, folk and roots music, seasoned with pop sensibilities. Neil's musical depth and diversity and bluesy guitar undertones have often been compared to Eric Clapton and although Neil has always been a big Clapton fan, any resemblance is through osmosis and not by design. Neil's world-class vocals have been compared to Paul Carrack, Paul Rogers, Van Morrison, Sam Cooke and a plethora of traditional R&B, soul singers.



Whether solo or with a band, Neil is well known for his relaxed audience rapport and engaging, passionate performances. Neil can often be found playing in his hometown of White Rock, BC, and although he is very grateful for the support from the local venues he is looking forward to performing more full-on shows where the music is the focus. To that end, Neil will be taking his show into Vancouver and throughout western BC and is also planning more extensive touring in the near future.
