Best known for spending seventeen years as frontman of Harem Scarem, one of the most well known and respected Melodic Hard Rock bands to come out from Canada, Harry Hess has been redesigning his career as music producer and songwriter. After the band's decision to stop recording more albums, the next natural step for Harry was to start working on a solo album which he has been expertly crafting little by little in his Toronto studio.
Still the songs included in LIVING IN YESTERDAY are the result of Harry Hess' travels around the globe over the last few years with stops in Stockholm, Amsterdam, Brussels, Nashville and Germany. The musicians featured on the album include his former bandmates Pete Lesperance, Creighton Doane and Darren Smith, Tommy Denander, Marcie Free (Unruly Child), Howie Simon (Jeff Scott Soto) and Magnus Karlsson (Primal Fear) among others.
