They met at a summer camp in 1974 and continued their friendship that fall as fellow students at Temple University. As their personal relationship deepened, they combined their vibrant voices and Reggie’s guitar skills and began performing at local Philadelphia clubs and coffeehouses. They were married in 1976, and by 1980 had begun a tour schedule that still averages 300 performances a year. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWriting songs together, alone, or with other musicians, the Harrises’ compositions have addressed politics, domestic violence, the human family, the joys and sorrows of love, and a constant underlying theme of social activism. Their lighthearted paean to automobile seatbelts, \"Passive Restraint,\" has been featured on National Public Radio’s syndicated \"Car Talk\" program. With an additional repertoire of Spirituals and freedom songs drawn from their cultural background, Kim and Reggie’s music carries on the folk tradition of preserving important songs from the past and adding meaningful new songs from the world around them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Let My People Go!\" is the Harrises’ ninth CD to date; their five most recent releases have appeared on Appleseed.
