Dave Harrington blew us away with DARKSIDE in 2025. Next March, he returns to Big Ears with an expanded slate of projects: a special duo with harpist Mary Lattimore; Taper’s Choice, a freewheeling, jam-leaning collective featuring members of Real Estate and Vampire Weekend that blurs the lines between improvisation and songcraft; and Pranksters South, a brand-new supergroup with a rotating cast, aptly named for their Knoxville debut. In addition, there may be a surprise or two that we’ll be sharing later.
In the meantime, check out this episode of the Ambient Country podcast. Harrington joins host Bob Holmes of SUSS to discuss his collaborations for the Across the Horizon music series, what’s been inspiring him, and more.
