After 4 years honing his craft by performing on the south coast of England, Chris Harland exploded on to the Australia blues scene in 2007. Picking up the Canberra Blues Society’s award for best instrumentalist in 2008 paved the way for numerous festival
appearances and attention.

Chris Harland has performed alongside some of Australia’s biggest names in blues music including, Fiona Boyes, Frank Sultana, Shane Pacey Ali Penney, Ray Beadle…among others. Chris was also chosen to be the support act for Eric Burdon and the Animals for
their Canberra Theatre show during their 2016 Australian tour and for Matt Schofield’s Canberra show during his 2022 Australian tour. After making a name for himself in the Canberra region, Chris Harland and his band were invited to perform at a number of national Australian blues festivals; The Australian Blues Music Festival, Echuca-Moama Winter Blues Festival, The Great Southern Blues Festival, Mitchell Creek Rock ‘n’ Blues Festival, Merimbula Jazz Festival, Kiama Jazz and Blues Festival, Sydney Blues Festival.

With a formidable rhythm section the Chris Harland Blues Band have the precision to nail every live show they play. With their long awaited debut Australian album, A Long Time Coming, reaching the top ten on the Australian Blues and Roots radio airplay charts and the track It’s Getting Late being nominated for a Chain award, it is a sign of much more to come from the CHBB.
