Father-Daughter Singer-songwriters
Acclaimed singer-songwriter Chris Beland has played at major music festivals around the U.S. and is now a local favorite. His 13-year-old daughter Harmony has a powerhouse voice with an Etta James-esque range that weaves perfectly through songs she co-writes with her dad. Their synergistic vocals are accompanied by the seasoned strum of an acoustic guitar, the twang of a harmonica, and the steady heartbeat of a kick drum. A top choice in a competition for Santa Barbara County’s best musician, prolific songwriter Chris Beland creates what he calls “honest music” influenced by performers such as Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Vance Joy, and Josh Ritter.
