I specialize in great classic rock hits, in an acoustic style, with sides of older and newer music. My sets range from hits like The Everly Brothers "All I have to do is Dream" to Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb", Classics by Van Morrison, Rolling Stones plus some newer songs from the likes of Ed Sheeran and The Dirty Heads. I'll be happy to learn specific songs on request.
As a solo performer, I perform regularly along the Suncoast and host a well-attended open mic, now 3 years running and participate in local music events and benefits. I also perform with the Skyhook band, The Century Brothers and in ODNT, a father/son duo with the multi-instrumentalist Brad Myers.

Gig length: 180 - 240 minutes
A solo artist without tracks who carries the show with Vocal performance and song variety. My most frequent compliment is to the selections on my song list. I am animated but will lay back and play tunes if the show requires a more background presence or reach our and interact with audience members if called for.

Harvey Myers can’t remember a time he didn’t have a guitar with him. In the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, he was one of those kids, ubiquitous in every town, who could – and did - play and sing Neil Young, James Taylor and Cat Stevens songs into the late night. Trading tunes and drinking Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill underneath Pier 60 on Florida’s Clearwater Beach, friends were made, chords were learned and girls were impressed. All was right with the world. Along with classical vocal training and music classes all through school, the beach is part of Harvey's root system.
A stint in the Navy reinforced Myers’ love of performance, as he entertained his shipmates with the latest from Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Bad Company and the like. During one of his tours of the Western Pacific, his rock ‘n’ roll band, Destiny’s End, performed on land in Subic Bay, Australia and the Fiji Islands.
Even during his post-military career as a computer programmer, music was a significant part of his life – weekend garage bands, solo gigs when he could find the time … and all the while he was amassing a powerful catalog of more than 400 cover songs, from all musical categories. Harvey Myers’ songbook includes hits, deep cuts, crowd-pleasers and even a few things he learned way back when under Pier 60, beneath the long-ago Florida moon.
Although he often performs with a band – or as a duo with his son, the prodigiously-talented Brad Myers, Harvey is in his element as a solo player, just him and that ever-present acoustic guitar. He sings with the voice of a man who’s thankful for the cool breeze, and the feeling of sun on his shoulders.
“I pretty much always have a positive attitude,” he explains with a wink and a smile.
I don't have extensive requirements and am used to bringing everything. If the sitation calls for your equipment i only require PA connections and a Microphone. Am able to work flexibly with your requirements.
