Kemp Harris
Join us on August 26, when Kemp Harris performs as part of the Global Rhythms Summer Concert Series at the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, offering an evening that reflects not just his artistry, but his enduring belief in music as a force for connection and understanding.
Musician Kemp Harris brings a rare blend of lived experience, musical craft, and deep community commitment to the stage. After years working as an educator, Harris made the bold decision to step fully into music, carrying with him the storytelling sensibility and human connection that defined his time in the classroom. That journey continues to shape his work today, where songs feel less like performances and more like conversations, rooted in history, justice, and shared experience.
A longtime advocate for using the arts as a bridge, Harris has remained steadfast in his commitment to community, whether through collaborations, mentorship, or music that speaks to collective struggles and resilience. His sound, woven from folk, blues, and African American musical traditions, feels both timeless and urgently present.
General Admission: $20; Season Pass: $150
