"Wide Open Light" is described by Harper as a family of songs where each track is a close relative to the next. Harper said he is excited to return to the times when albums did not need adjacent story or fable, and the songs themselves were enough.

"Wide Open Light" was produced by Harper’s longtime collaborative partners, including guitarist, songwriter, and producer Jason Mozersky and Danny Kalb. It also features special guests such as Jack Johnson, Shelby Lynne, and Piers Faccini.

New music arrived fresh off the heels of his recent appearance in the Apple TV+ series “Extrapolations,” a fictional drama based in the near future when the effects of climate change have become embedded in society. The show stars Meryl Streep, Kit Harington, Forest Whitaker and more.

Harper has also appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show, in Harper Bazaar, and CBS Mornings, ABC News, SPIN, Entertainment Weekly, Variety, and more. His U.S. tour begins this fall, and it will include communities as Buffalo, New York, Cincinnati, Ohio and more.
