Harry is a classically trained pianist and multi-instrumentalist living in Iowa, originally from Northen California. Harry has released 11 albums on his independent label, Ebbeson Records. His first album surfaced in 1993 and his last release, Sounds and Thoughts of Christmas, was released in October 2003. His albums explore his roots in classical music, as well as adult contemporary instrumental, christian, jazz and keyboard rock with a finesse not usually found in today's music. He is a critically acclaimed artist and award-winning keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist.
Harry is a 1998 Honor Graduate of the Audio Institute of America as a Recording Engineer. He is also the co-winner of the 2000 Special Achievement Award from the Los Angeles Music Association for Splashing, an album he co-wrote with John Paul in 1998.1999, was quite a transitional year for Harry, as his life was literally taken away from him and given back. His 2000 release, Second Chances, explores this time. His 2002 release, Finding Hope, explores his roots in classical and orchestral music. Not only is this album close to his heart, but two of the songs on it are in dedication to the victims of the World Trade Center Tragedies and their families. There is also a song on Finding Hope dedicated to Mattie Stepanek, a 13 year-old who had a rare form of MD. In June 2004, the world was saddened with Mattie's passing. He was truly a peacemaker and poet and will be greatly missed.Another thing about Harry's music: With the exception of guitar and vocals, all of his music is done on synthesizer. The realism of the orchestral instruments are amazing and his ability to place them in the stereo field makes them that much more realistic. This is a testament not only to the technology of todays instruments, but also to his ability to provide expression and realism to the instruments and his music.
