vote for Marc Harris for GMA

**SoWalSally** · 11-11-2006, 07:34 AM

Singer-songwriter Marc Harris has been seen performing at area venues such as The Red Bar, The Sea Bar, Pandora’s, Cerulean’s, Seaside and special events such as the Seeing Red Wine Festival last week.
Harris now wants to be one of four people to perform on “Good Morning America” Nov. 29. The four performers will be the winners of the online contest, “You Tube Underground” on www.You-Tube.com, which will be chosen by popular vote. Two of Harris’s videos are among the 2,264 submissions. One of them, “Calm Before the Storm,” was shot in the Seaside Amphitheater and the other was shot in Nashville. The songwriter hopes to win best song or best performance video.
Harris said he had just recently gotten into YouTube as an outlet for promoting his music via the Internet when he discovered the contest.
Harris writes his own material, along with an occasional co-writer. His one CD, “Here and Now,” was recorded in Point Washington.
“This (South Walton) area is good to artists,” he said. “It allows people to find themselves.”
After five years of living in South Walton, however, Harris moved to Birmingham last year to place him closer to Nashville. Nevertheless, he said South Walton remains his home away from home and he will be returning for performances.
Votes are accepted through Nov. 17 through his Web site at www.marcharris. com or at www.YouTube.com. Direct links to Harris’s videos are:

• “All The Time In The World” (live video Nashville 10/12/2006)

• “Calm Before The Storm” (live video Seaside summer 2004)

Marc is in Charleston right now and I know he would enjoy seeing this thread and your comments. You can watch him perform by clicking on the youtube link in SoWal Sally's post. Please help our friend, formerly from SoWal, get to see Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America.

For all of you people who are concerned that Marc will spill the beans on Good Morning America about how beautiful this area is, I made him promise to keep it on the down-low.

Just kidding, but please vote for my friend, Marc. www.marcharris.com

Sorry about that. I corrected my link. I forgot for a minute that SoWal doesn't take HTML. Try again, Kitty.

And for you guys who will be in town next weekend, be sure to catch Marc in Seaside at noon on Friday and Saturday, Nov 24 & 25.
