NEWS & EVENTS
"I must tell you about a
musical genius in Rufus Harris. I was in Detroit over the wknd., and Rufus Harris, who
puts on the 4th Fridays at the Ford Community Performing Arts Centre is
an absolute monster. He is a fine Christian gentleman,
cloaked in humility and unparalleled in my humble opinion in
today's contemporary Christian music scene. Picture The Meters meets
Steely Dan, The Neville Bros, a touch of Al Green and Sting and you got
Rufus. He is a phenomenal writer, singer and absolutely smokin',
scary guitarist. He is incredibly dynamically
controlled."
Canadian Blues Recording Artist
- Danny
Brooks
"A
Deep
thinker" “well versed” and “well spoken”, deep and intriguing lyrics, (strong) opinions on social reform and church
administration and third world nations." Keith
Seymore, Church Leader & Music Lover
