ABOUT CITY HARBOR:
The moniker City Harbor is quite the fit for this duo’s blend of organic and harmonic pop. With songs sharing about real-life issues, such as living out our faith in such a complex world, the words “City Harbor” represent not only what Earle and Reed hope their music is for the listener, a shelter from the storm, but are also inspired by Jesus’s words in Matthew 11:28—“Come to Me all who are weary, and I will give you rest."

Their first single, “Come However You Are,” is currently climbing the charts at radio. At press time the song is No. 23 at AC Indicator and No. 27 at National Christian Audience. The music of City Harbor is also featured on two WOW projects. “Come However You Are” is on the new WOW Hits 2014 compilation CD, while “It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” was featured on the WOW Christmas 2013, Deluxe Edition.

Reed and Earle have already toured wtih Francesca Battistelli, Amy Grant and appeared at last year's Night Of Joy. This past Christmas season, City Harbor was part of the "It's Christmas Tour" with MIKESCHAIR and Finding Favor. This Spring will take the duo on the road opening for Sidewalk Prophets. Tour dates are listed below. “This is an exciting season for City Harbor, and we’re excited to share the core of who we are by encouraging people to go to Jesus in whatever shape they’re in,” Reed exclaims. “Come to God and receive His peace, love, grace and rest. That’s the heartbeat of our message, a resounding reminder that God is always there.”
