Band biography
The Harriets are a Leeds-based alternative pop and rock four-piece, fronted by lead vocalists Daniel Parker-Smith and Ben Schrodel. They are joined for live shows by Jess Womack on keys and Ryan Bailey on drums. With accomplished songwriting, unmistakable three-part vocals and a live show that lifts the soul, they are making waves in the UK music scene.
After being nominated for Glastonbury Emerging Talent and Record Store Day Unsigned in 2019, the band released their 2020 debut album ‘Hopefuls’ to great success. International sales in Europe and the US, a four-star review by Rolling Stone Magazine DE, airplay on BBC Radio and a regional TV feature have given the band a new platform for their music.
