The Harris Blake Band is a high-energy, crowd-pleasing ensemble based in Bend, Oregon, known for delivering tight grooves, soulful vocals, and a setlist packed with familiar favorites. With a sound that blends classic rock, pop, and danceable rhythms, they bring audiences together through music that’s instantly recognizable and irresistibly fun.
Fronted by lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Nancy Blake, whose powerhouse voice channels the big female voices of the '70s, the band is a dynamic fusion of seasoned musicianship and genre-spanning influences. Dan Harris (lead guitar) brings the grit and fire of heavier classic rock, while Jim Roser (bass) adds soulful depth rooted in his background playing church music. Greg Young (keyboard) weaves in sophisticated textures from Steely Dan to Sting, and Charlie Ewing (drums) anchors the group with versatile rhythms drawn from decades of experience across styles.
Together, they form a tight, professional unit that’s as comfortable on coastal tour stops as they are in local venues. Their recent performances along the Oregon Coast have earned them a reputation for turning any room into a dance floor — whether it’s a packed bar, a festival stage, or an intimate event.
