Hargreaves
‘Hargreaves’ plays breezy Americana music with blues, soul and funk influences and a distinctive sound and style.
We write original songs and rearrange songs that mean something special to us. We draw inspiration from a wide range of musicians, including; Steve Earle, Pink, Queen, Thin Lizzy, Chicks, Boo Hewerdine, Bill Withers, Cyndi Lauper, Kate Bush, Clyde Stubblefield, Bernard Purdie, Herbie Hancock, George Benson, and Eric Clapton. Varied, but always music that stirs our hearts.
It’s been a Long, Hard Road, and we’ve had a couple of tough years with unexpected changes of line-up, illnesses and other problems, but we’re back on track now, and despite COVID, were’re recording a new album. We hope to be back gigging in some shape or form later this year.
This website holds songs, recordings, photos and memories for you to enjoy from 14-years of Hargreaves. See you again sometime this year, once we’ve been Kissed Better and Sent on Our Way.

We are :
Claire Jarvis – Vocals
