about

"Watching the Kid Come Back" is Robert Harrison's (Cotton Mather) Solo Debut recorded in his Dripping Springs Texas cabin


Robert Harrison Artist Bio

As frontman for Cotton Mather, Robert Harrison has been a fixture in Austin music since the late-nineties, when his famously 4-tracked record Kontiki made waves around the globe, being called by UNCUT Magazine- "music to smile yourself to death to". As the creative force behind Future Clouds and Radar, he was named Harp Magazine's "Debut Artist of the Year" in 2007. After a recent Cotton Mather reboot which yielded three full-length records and an EP, Harrison returns to the stage this summer for his solo debut, Watching the Kid Come Back.
Flanked by Austin luminaries Gary Newcombe, Betty Soo, Brad Fordham and Suzanna Choffel as well as long tome collaborators Whit Williams and Darin Murphy, Harrison leaves behind the familiar garage environs for a sound and style more suited to the Texas front porch -blending traditional instrumentation with his “classicist grasp of melody” (Magnet)- adding to what the Austin Chronicle has called a “seemingly endless collection of instant classics” .


About "Watching the Kid Come Back"

“Prior to the big shutdown of 2020 I moved into a little cabin in the country outside of Dripping Springs, Texas about 30 minutes from Austin to do a reset on life and to dream my first solo record. By the Summer of 2020 it was clear this was going to need to be a very different sort of record for me- one that could be made for the most part alone …and also one that contended with the emotional weight of the times we were all experiencing. I set up mics and cables on the front porch for musical droppers-by and had Zoom sessions with the home recordists as well -to talk arrangement and parts etc… and really to keep each others spirits buoyed. Now from the vantage point of summer 2021 this seems already like a postcard from a distant shore. My gratitude to all those who encouraged me and contributed generously- Brad Fordham, Whit Williams, Gary Newcombe, Darin Murphy, Matt Hovis, Betty Soo, Suzanna Choffel, Ed Jarusinsky, Rick Richards, Mike Hardwick, Lars Goransson, Mary-O Harrison, Brad Jones and my most reliable sounding board and helper- Declan Harrison. Finally without the support and belief of my incredible Patrons none of this could have happened.” RH
