ANTHONY DAVID

After writing a song for India.Arie’s breakthrough debut album in 2001, Anthony David Harrington became a noted soul-rooted R&B artist in his own right, known for his slightly rasping baritone and down-to-earth storytelling. Seemingly inspired in equal measure by R&B legend Bill Withers and folk-soul cult hero Terry Callier, Harrington released a pair of modest independent albums prior to having them condensed and anthologized for Acey Deucy (2008), which led to a Grammy nomination for “Words,” a duet with Arie that also helped put the album in the Top 30 of Billboard’s R&B/hip-hop chart. Harrington has continued to record refined albums in a blue-collar singer/songwriter mode for eOne and Shanachie, including the charting releases As Above So Below (2011) and Love Out Loud (2012), as well as the Withers tribute Hello Like Before (2018).
