Five Minutes with Pete Harris of Harris Radio

Harris Radio tomorrow celebrates nine years of playing "Intelligent Music for Intelligent Minds."  Jeremiah Birnbaum of the Ramblers is in town to perform, and he also took time to ask Pete Harris a bit about Harris Radio, Indie Sounds, and the music scenes in Austin and NYC.



Indie Sounds: So, you're celebrating your 9th Anniversary of Harris Radio with a massive musical birthday blowout at Momo's in Austin this Wednesday.  How did Harris Radio come to be?

Pete Harris: I was getting seriously into the live music scene in New York City in 2002 and I came across an internet radio streaming service called Live365.  It looked easy enough to do, and it was pretty cheap, so I just started it on a whim, because I wanted to play music from the many acts I was seeing live around town.  Over-air radio in the city just played the usual crap.  Mike Bloomberg had named his radio station after himself, so I decided to do the same.  It went live at the end of July that year.
