Harry Bartlett Mountain Air

Harry Bartlett’s Mountain Air is a string trio like no other. Bartlett is an award-winning guitarist and composer whose music blends jazz, classical, and bluegrass. Originally from BC, schooled in Toronto, he moved to Nashville to immerse himself into traditional folk music following his debut album Wildwood, which was praised as “thoughtful, impressionistic, and cinematic” (LA Jazz Scene). Since then, he has toured and recorded alongside artists like Bela Fleck, Trey Wellington, and Chris Eldridge.

His latest album Mountain Air features Canadians violinist Aline Homzy and bassist Andrew Downing. The record showcases his personal guitar style and a deepening connection to acoustic music. While the album retains a foundational approach to jazz improvisation, it also offers clear shades of bluegrass, old-time, and folk influences. His original compositions are presented with a “delicacy combining classical, string band, and jazz elements.” (The Whole Note). Joining Bartlett on stage in Campbell River will Seattle-born and Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist Evan Snoey on violin and Vancouver jazz bassist James Meger.
