Mindy Weiss celebrity event planner mindyweiss.com"It was wonderful having Harold here last week...my Leadership Loveland group loved him! It was a super hour from start to finish."
Kim Kimberly Akeley-Charron Cultural Events Coordinator City of Loveland, CO"As a songwriter myself, I deeply appreciate Harold's ability to express profound ideas and feelings, using very simple musical and verbal phrases. The "Power of Positive Music" music Harold has created is a collection of songs which powerfully express all the positive feelings, qualities and experiences of life. Also Harold is a powerful and emotionally charged singer with charismatic presence on stage. He is so at ease with his audience that many of our congregants have said they always feel like he is singing directly to them."

About the PASS IT ON recording:
"Pass it On" is a rich and sophisticated musical patina paints the sound with acoustic guitars, choral harmonies, and sparking synthesizers providing the frame for Payne's husky heartfelt vocals. In the world of Harold Payne the songs are most important elements, ("the song is king" he states simply), and the ten selections on "Pass It On" are so genuine and natural they sound as if they may have written themselves. The chance encounter, the moment that might have been, the distance between lovers, physical and emotional, and the solitary view where the city lights recede from the window of an airplane and blend into the stars over a dark ocean are all here!" ---------------- Dan Kimpel |
