Today marks the worldwide release of Jon Harris’ (The Host of The Rock Metal Podcast) highly anticipated debut album, Parallel Heart, out now via Epictronic Records!
Jon Harris, an instrumental rock guitarist and producer from Edmonton, delivers a unique blend of bluesy hard rock and funky synth-pop in “Parallel Heart”. Written, recorded, and produced entirely by Jon in his home studio, the album features his multi-instrumental talents across guitar, bass, drums, and piano. Drawing inspiration from relationships and life’s delicate balance, Parallel Heart takes listeners on an unforgettable musical journey.
The album offers an eclectic mix of genres, from the 80s-inspired synth-pop vibes of 97BPM to the hard-hitting rock intensity of ‘Togetherness’ and ‘Wasted Entertainment’. The track ‘Mehnoynoy’ also features a personal touch, with drum contributions from Jon’s son, Gabriel.
“Parallel Heart” is a fusion of infectious grooves and powerful riffs—imagine if Prince and Jeff Beck jammed together in the studio. This is Jon Harris‘ musical vision at its finest, showcasing his passion for instrumental rock with every note.

“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
