Curtis Harding

Versatile vocalist Curtis Harding fuses the passion and intensity of classic soul and R&B with the uncompromising attitude of indie rock and the nervy swagger of garage punk, and has made a name for himself in both rock and R&B circles. His songwriting is as strong as his singing, digging deep into the emotions of his material while adding a subtle but insistent undertow informed by the issues of the larger world. Harding made a striking debut with 2014's Soul Power, he added a touch of refinement on 2017's more accomplished Face Your Fear, and psychedelia became part of his formula on 2021's If Words Were Flowers. Classic sci-fi films helped inspire 2025's Departures & Arrivals: Adventures of Captain Curt, with symphonic string arrangements appearing on several songs.
