A.p. Harbor is an American indie pop project and stage name of songwriter, poet, and producer, Andrew Preston. They are based in Morehead, Kentucky. Though the project often functions as a collective, the current primary members are comprised of Preston (vocals, instruments), Matt Holleran (drums), Michael Jarvi (guitars, bass), and Mary Morris (vocals, artwork and media).
History
Preston has been performing since early 2011, initially as a solo artist.[1] He was featured in 2015 in the International Bluegrass Music Association Songwriter Showcase.[2] He joined up with Kentucky folk band The Woodsheep shortly after, touring across four countries in three years.[3][4]
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Preston officially rebranded his music under the moniker of A.p. Harbor to channel his creative efforts into a single brand. With Matt Holleran, Michael Jarvi, and Mary Morris, they released seven full length records by 2024.[5] They were also featured as part of Hindman Settlement School's Gather & Grow feature, and nominated by the 2020 Audioverse Awards for best original soundtrack for Hit the Bricks Podcast.[6]
In addition to their work in the Appalachian indie music scene, A.p. Harbor has had poetry and lyrics published in several anthologies.[7] Preston served as musician in residence for the 2023 Appalachian Writer's Workshop. [8]Their debut lyric collection entitled Cats, Moons, & Other Tunes is forthcoming in 2025, alongside their eighth LP, After.[9]
