Family. Love. Harmony. They’re three simple words that can mean anything to pretty much everybody. But for The Harters, they embody a way of life that means just about everything. First and foremost, Michael, Leslie and Scott are siblings. And as brothers and sister, they share a familial love rooted in a lifetime of music. So far, pretty simple. Yet as country music has begun to discover – and their forthcoming debut album proves – The Harters play and sing together with a sound that soars beyond mere ‘harmonizing’ to the place where breakthrough artists are born. “Family, love and harmony all mean the same thing to us,” explains older brother Michael. “We’re three different people with one unifying approach. We don’t write, play, or sing conventionally, and our music can’t be ‘airbrushed’. We are,” he says with a laugh, “incapable of being anything other than exactly who we are.”

It’s who The Harters are – individually and collectively – that make all the difference. “None of it would work without each one of us,” says sister Leslie. “Michael brings the traditional country sound. Scott’s comes from a more rock background. I listen to and love everything. And when we get together, there’s this weird magic that happens.” For younger brother Scott, it’s their diverse influences and personalities that create the unifying thread. “We’re all stubborn to a certain degree,” he explains, “and none of us are willing to be part of something we don’t believe in. I think of us as three circles that meet. Where they overlap is where our music is.”
