forming music locally — first
as a part of a Django Rein-
hardt cover band, then as
part of the duo Jupiter and
Teardrop.
The latter group dis-
banded in 2016, so Harvey
began working on his song-
writing skills.
He attended Song Camp at
the Sisters Folk Festival and
joined groups of fellow song-
writers who would meet and
critique each others’ songs,
he said.
Before COVID-19 hit,
Harvey began playing unfin-
ished versions of his “Second
Chances” songs live at The
Commons Cafe in Bend. He
said it was a great place to
workshop songs, as crowds
there actually paid attention
to musicians.
“There’s not a lot of rooms
in town where you play
your songs and people are
listening,” he said. “As an
unknown songwriter, and
you’re trying to gauge an au-
dience, you want feedback.”
Harvey said he isn’t too fo-
cused on playing the finished
tracks live at the moment.
But when the pandemic sub-
sides, he might return to The
Commons to play “Second
Chances,” he said.
Harvey doesn’t anticipate
taking another 60-plus years
to release another solo re-
cord.
“I’m already writing for
the second EP,” he said. “I’ve
learned so much about my-
self as an artist, I just feel like
I’m getting started.”
John Harvey’s EP, “Second
Chances,” can be found on
all digital music platforms,
including iTunes, Spotify and
Apple Music, starting Friday.
