THE FULL STORY…

I’m Harrison Karsch — a dynamic performer who loves connecting with audiences both on and off the stage. From high-energy live shows to more intimate performances, I bring passion, personality, and a deep love of music to everything I do. I’m driven by creating fearless, engaging live experiences that are just as fun to watch as they are meaningful to perform.

Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with musician parents, I officially caught the performance bug after seeing Bruce Springsteen’s 2009 Super Bowl halftime show — a moment that sparked my love for big energy, bold showmanship, and live music that truly connects. I began playing drums at age six before expanding my focus to guitar and lead vocals, studying a wide range of genres including rock, punk, funk, folk, blues, and jazz.

I further developed my skills through the School of Rock’s Intensive Performance Program, where I performed multiple seasonal shows each year and toured as part of their audition-only House Band. Along the way, I had the opportunity to be mentored by Philadelphia guitar great and Billboard Top 100 artist Tommy Conwell, performing as a co-lead vocalist in his band and gaining invaluable real-world stage experience.

Today, I perform both as a solo artist and as a co-lead vocalist and guitarist for the Philadelphia-based band Chinaberry Lane. I’m also a Broadcasting major at Susquehanna University, where I serve as a DJ and Technical Director at WQSU-FM, blending my love of performance with storytelling, sound, and production. Beyond the stage, I’m passionate about songwriting, recording, and producing — always exploring new ways to grow, create, and connect through sound.
