The most recent season:
I’m Canadian harpist and composer Josh Layne. Come along with me as I combine my love of music with my love of the outdoors as a Harpist in the Wild! 🙂
Harpist in the Wild started with a standalone episode back on February 20, 2021 with “A Winter’s Day“ (note that that episode and the first and second season were on a new YouTube channel but I’ve since moved everything to my main channel).
You can read my initial announcement in my Feb. 15th, 2021 email newsletter.
