ABOUT
James Haro In Storage is a music project that began ​underground in a literal storage room in South Philadelphia ​during COVID-19 lockdown. Haro crafts music with a ​powerful blend of lyrics and musical arrangements, drawing ​comparisons to artists The Shins, Ben Lee, and Rilo Kiley. ​Haro has Mexican and Indigenous American roots and was ​born and raised in Los Angeles, now based in Philadelphia.
Haro created the digital solo show "GO" for Philly's SoLow ​Fest in mid-pandemic 2021, the first in a series of pieces ​that features original songs and interweaves auto-​biographical storytelling. Haro went on to create its ​pseudo-sequel "GO AHEAD", which premiered at the 2022 ​Philadelphia Fringe Festival in Old City and was selected to ​be presented as part of Cannonball Festival in 2023. He ​has since released his debut single, “Verses”, available now ​on all major music platforms. In 2024, he released his first ​EP, also titled GO AHEAD, produced by second-time ​collaborator Robby Webb and recorded at Headroom ​Studios.
He also created and co-hosts the seasonal open-mic ​"Going Acoustic at Quig's” with musicians Kat Rivers and ​Emily Schuman.

“James is an everyman force of nature.
I sincerely hope he never stops making ​music or telling stories.”
-Audience Member, FringeArts
“Haro hops octaves easily, all while ​growling, howling, soaring through his ​anthemic lines.”
-Martha Eies (née Martha Stuckey)
