Kirk Harwood
Jazz-trained drummer and vocalist, Kirk Harwood worked with Norton Buffalo (Steve Miller), Huey Lewis, Tommy Thomsen and Roy Rogers, before teaming up with Wendy in 2012.
Kirk Harwood plays traps with a passion, precision and creativity that only comes from training, experience, and inherent soul. His early bands include Huey Lewis and Clover, Norton Buffalo and Roy Robgers and tours of major venues while opening for Steve Miller. Kirk is a veteran of West Coast blues, rock and soul and for 30 years accompanied Western Swing Hall of Famer Tommy Thomsen.
You can hear Kirk Harwood on Norton Buffalo’s award winning albums Loving in the Valley of the Moon and Desert Horizon. He’s also recorded with Maria Muldaur and Tommy Thomsen and the Ambassadors of Western Swing. Kirk’s style is inspired by Buddy Rich, Joe Morello (Dave Brubeck), and David Garibaldi. Study with San Francisco’s legendary Johnny Markham insured that the finer points of musical expression and creativity are intergral parts of his musical language.
