Josh Layne

Harpist/composer Josh Layne has been called a 'harp genius' and a 'consummate musician'. He has performed extensively across Canada, the US, Europe, South America, Australia and New Zealand and has been praised for both his virtuosity and the sensitivity of his playing.

Josh has recorded 4 albums of solo harp music, including his 2013 CD "Passage: music for solo harp" which features three of his original compositions for harp.

With 250+ episodes and over 3 million views, Harp Tuesday is an amazing resource for harpists all over the world.
