The Joey
Harris Story Joey Harris began his musical career in the late seventies playing
lead guitar for proto-Americana songwriter John Stewart. In 1983, MCA
records released Joey Harris and the Speedsters which showcased Harris’
skill as songwriter, vocalist and guitar virtuoso. In January 1985, Joey
joined the Beat Farmers, perpetually touring the United States and Canada,
and visiting England, Germany and the Scandinavian countries. Harris wrote,
sang and played on five Beat Farmer LPs released by Curb/MCA, and indie
label, Sector 2. Joey also toured and recorded with Country Dick Montana,
Dave Alvin and Mojo Nixon as a member of their Las Vegas style review band,
the Pleasure Barons, releasing a live CD on Hightone Records in 1993. Harris
was on hand when Montana recorded another project featuring Mojo, Rosie
Flores, Katy Moffett, John Doe, Candye Kane, Dave Gonzales and Dave Alvin
titled the Devil Lied to Me, posthumously released by Bar/None in 1996.
Country Dick Montana died onstage at the Longbranch Saloon in Whistler,
British Columbia, November 11th 1995. The Beat Farmers soon disbanded and
Joey toured with his own band, worked with songwriter Paul Kamanski, (author
of several Beat Farmer tunes) and Mojo Nixon. Harris joined forces with Beat
Farmer Jerry Raney and his band Powerthud and released a CD in 2002 called
Wide.
In June 2009, a new CD titled Joey Harris and the Mentals will be released
by San Diego based, Double Barrel Records. The CD, with ten tracks written
by Harris, features Joey on vocals and guitar, backed by San Diego
musicians, Mighty Joe Longa, Jeff and Joel Kmak, and Josh Mader. Recorded
and produced by Mississippi Mudshark, Scottie Mad Dog Blinn, the new CD is
the first solo project for Harris since 1983’s Joey Harris and the
Speedsters
