Hank Harris 2.0 releases online May 25, adding ten new songs to a catalog that has stretched across decades of Black Hills music. The ten-song record includes tracks titled “Breathe,” “Liar,” “Down on the Bottom,” “The Hard Way,” “Comes a Time,” “A Dangerous Sport,” “Once It’s Gone,” “Meds,” “What’s the Matter,” and a closing version of “Deportee.”

Around the Black Hills, Harris has spent decades playing stages, theaters, museum projects, documentary work, and spent long stretches on the road. Over the years, he has performed with groups including The Red Willow Band and DD and the Fayrohs while continuing to maintain a steady stream of solo releases and collaborations. His work with the Adams Museum in Deadwood produced the Deadwood Songbook recordings and helped earn a South Dakota Public Broadcasting feature that was later nominated for a Midwest Emmy.

Outside of music, Harris is also known among longtime friends and collaborators as a photographer, often carrying the same quiet, observant perspective from his songwriting into his visual work. The Black Hills landscape has remained a constant backdrop to both.
