Songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and music educator Harvey Reid has honed his craft since the ’70s in countless clubs, festivals, and concert halls across the nation. He has been called a “giant of the steel strings” and “one of the true treasures of American acoustic music,” and is considered to be one of the modern masters and innovators of the acoustic guitar, autoharp and 6-string banjo. His 32 recordings on the Woodpecker record label showcase his mastery of many instruments and styles of acoustic music, from hip folk to slashing slide guitar blues to bluegrass, old-time, Celtic, ragtime, and even classical. He was inducted in 2023 into the Maine Music Awards Hall of Fame.
