The progressive Gospel & Soul of Harm's Fork
Harm's Fork is a place in America where Frisian
Wiegers Anne van der Woude rested
for an hour when he came from Salt Lake City heading for the Netherlands in 1861.
One hundred and fifty years later Harm Wierda read his diary and thought it would
be the perfect band name.
The fork in the road is where things come together and where new roads are imposed.
Wierda can be found on stage from the age of 16 in all kinds of bands as a keyboardist and later as a guitarist.
He is a gifted musician, but the desire to perform as a singer and frontman and to preach the gospel became increasingly
compelling.
Looking for the best way to express himself, Wierda's musical quest is now one with his spiritual quest.
Convinced of the importance of diversity within a group and the common experience of dynamics, Wierda has approached a number of exceptional musicians to realise his Plan. Together they ride the gospel highway, with trips to New Orleans, the Memphis Soul
and the avant-garde.
Harm's Fork's repertoire leans on three pillars: original compositions, arrangements of hymns and odes to inspiring musical
predecessors. Wierda deploys his talent as a musician and singer and as an arranger.
Armed with the pioneering spirit of the Latter-day Saints and Jesus as his Big Brother, Harm Wierda finally dares to.
It giet aon. Or, as Hannibal Smith of the A-Team said: "I love it When a plan comes together".
