Harvest Smoke

BIO
Harvest Smoke are a gang of four, part Perth born / part Melbourne born, who fell into the same room late 2010 to play some music for main man BENNY J WARD’s (ex-Screwtop Detonators) freshly written songs that had been penned on six month road trip that he and his wife Nici undertook around Australia.

Having spent the majority of his post high school years rockin’ and rollin’ with his best mates in the Screwtop Detonators on numerous tours, shows, recordings, a re-location to Melbourne, and all the other general punk rock shenanigans the youth of yesterday undertook, he returned from the trip to Melbourne and called a Screwtop pal and a couple of good buddies from Sons of Lee Marvin and before you know it HARVEST SMOKE was born.
