About the Band
Jon Harris – vocals, guitars and lap steel
Brad Fowler – drums
Ray Dombrowski – bass
Jon Harris and the Sin Hounds are a three piece band conjuring up quite a buzz in the heavily populated Atlanta music scene. They are an eclectic sound of blues, rock, and folk with a firm grip on the pulse of Americana. Taking their cue from groups like Derek and the Dominoes, the Band, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, and the Allman Brothers, they have been described as “blue-to-the bone… with the balls of 70’s vinyl”.
Front man Jon Harris is an Atlanta native who has served time in a variety of groups before deciding to step up and front his own band. His soulful voice and engaging presence on stage connect him to his audience in a passionate and electrifying way. Inspired by the guitar techniques of Eric Clapton, Freddie King, and Duane Allman, Harris plays as his own mixing boards, constantly tweaking the tempo and viciousness of his output with each and every song. Laying down the wall of power on the kit is drummer and Huntsville, Alabama native Brad Fowler. Classically trained with a bachelor’s degree in jazz studies from the University of Alabama, Fowler is everything and more in a rhythm section. Whether it's taking the bridge of a song to a thunderous second level or laying down a soft canvas for Harris to paint over, Fowler's chops are powerful yet graceful and provide that perfectly needed balance of melody and intensity. Rounding out the trio is the band’s newest member, bassist Ray Dombrowski from Marietta, Georgia. Ray recently graduated from the Atlanta Institute of Music with a musicianship degree. While at A.I.M., Dombrowski studied everything from blues, jazz, and rock to R&B and has added new depth to the trio. Ray’s skills and knowledge of the bass have given the band a cohesive core and helped round out the Sin Hounds.
JHSH recently recorded a live album, which is scheduled for a mid to late March 2006 release. The live album was recorded at Blind Willie’s in Atlanta where the band currently considers their home base. JHSH believe the live album will give unfamiliar listeners an insight to the energy and dynamics of their live performance. With the release of their first studio album Last Days of Chattanooga, JHSH have been met with praise from both critics and fans. Last Days has been described as “greasy listening” and “hip enough for Fat Possum collectors and sweet enough for the Van Morrison recollectors.” Last Days is an edgy mix of down-and-dirty rockers, “moody” acoustic numbers, and original “blues-based stompers”.
 
The Sin Hounds are not your run-of-the-mill "white boy blues band," peppering their shows with obscure and crowd-favorite covers. They are a melting pot of sound that can move you to your feet one moment and then hush you for the next. They don't adhere to a certain genre, but they bring out the true essence of every style they address. Southern rockers will be in awe of them. Dancers will twirl to the medleys. Blues fans will respect them. Their music and vigor truly know no boundaries.
