The pre-launch party for Jeremy Harry Harris’ album, “Walking with my Darkness,” held at Night Owl Studios in Morley, unfolded on a warm, balmy night filled with eager anticipation and a hint of uncertainty in the air. The format of the event was unique for Perth, foregoing the traditional opening support act, which left attendees intrigued about how the night would unfold.
Upon entering the venue, I was greeted with an unexpected sight: two chairs, one of which exuded an ominous aura straight out of “The Matrix.” It soon became apparent that there was a prequel to the musical journey ahead—a storytelling element, an origins story, if you will. This clever format, hosted by the energetic Sean Bennett from The Rockpit, promised a one-of-a-kind experience, a world-first event.
