Edmonton instrumental rock guitarist Jon Harris has unveiled the playthrough video for “If You Wouldn’t,” from his debut album “Parallel Heart,” released via Epictronic. With every note, he pulls you deeper into his world, where soulful riffs, graceful solos, and rich layers of guitar and keyboard create a sound that is both intimate and vast.

The album is a vivid showcase of Harris’ multi-instrumental skills and compositional vision. While completely instrumental, “Parallel Heart” conveys stories of tension and release, exploring the space between connection and chaos, creative ambition and everyday demands. From the pulsing energy of Togetherness to the shimmering retro feel of 97BPM, each track builds its own emotional narrative.
Harris, who performed guitar, drums, bass, piano, and production on the record, proves himself not only a guitarist to watch but a full-scale sonic architect. His sound bridges blues-soaked rock, synth-driven textures, and funk grooves with cinematic flair, evoking a blend that’s reminiscent of Jeff Beck meeting Prince with a modern rock edge.

“It’s a looping track (Entitled) that turns noodling guitar solos into an optimistic resolve. ” – Exclaim!
“guitar virtuoso Jon Harris offers a welcome throwback on ‘Togetherness’, the second single to be released from his forthcoming LP ‘Parallel Heart’. An instrumental number, its mid tempo and groove oriented base is immediately reminiscent of works by Joe Satriani, but unlike so many fretboard freaks, Harris clearly values a great melody instead of a pure shred. Here, he lays down a semi bluesy tone over a solid rock groove, before branching out to inject a funk derived rhythm with a cleaner tone, and bell like melodies. The arrangement eventually finds room for a few slightly fuzzy sounding harmonics and a melody that could be one of Satch’s best, circa ‘The Extremist’.” – Real Gone Rocks
“It’s Friday! And we have the pleasure of adding the new single “Togetherness” from six-string slinger Jon Harris. An instrumental driving rock track with an accessible melody and plenty of layered soloing to keep you engaged throughout, “Togetherness” is a rewarding five minutes without those pesky vocals! Taken from his forthcoming album “Parallel Heart” set for a December release, catch Jon Harris on your Home for the Best New Rock…W-J-O-EEEE!”
“His artistic ability blends technical brilliance and emotional depth, creating immersive soundscapes that push the boundaries of rock.” – Video Sound Art Magazine
“If melodic and elegant instrumental hard rock is music you tend to enjoy, and you appreciate some occasional funky interceptions in such landscapes, then this is an album that you probably will find to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.” – The Viking in the Wilderness
