Peggy Harris

Peggy Harris has been singing since the age of five years old and competing vocally since the age of nine. She is self-taught on the guitar. She has been a member of many musical groups, an active member in several arts councils including Rose Hill Arts Council in Aiken, South Carolina and the Franklin County Arts Council in Louisburg, NC. She has also participated on the stage in many musicals and dramatic performances. Peggy went on the road professionally in the duet Dawnshadow for an East Coast tour with the hotel chain Rodeway Inns, including Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky and New York state. Upon her return from the East Coast tour, Peggy became the front performer with the seven-member Southern Rock group Lady Luck. She was soon joined by her future and now deceased husband, Buck Harris for a ten-year stint and then a five-year stint with the contemporary Christian group Joyful Noise. She started performing professionally primarily at the age of 16 giving concerts for arts groups, civic groups and public events. At the passing of her husband Buck, she formed the Java Jivers trio, graced by the amazing talent of Tokyo Rosenthal and played many venues, private parties and public events. The group dissolved during the Covid epidemic and she is now playing for weekly church services, fundraisers and public events. Peggy’s first solo concert in several years was here at Sacred Grounds in January and she is excitedly looking forward to her return performance at the Sacred Grounds Coffeehouse.
