The Band
Harold Hart is the front man and lead singer of the band, bringing along 30 plus years of music experience. Originally from the D.C. area, Harold has been the frontman of multiple bands such as Juggler, Robinson Cruiser, Under The Table, Bombay Circus and Valentino. He is wide open, engaging and refuses to be ignored! Harold sets the tone for the performance, personifies the spirit of the band and gets the crowd involved.
Mick St John sits behind the drum kit and is the dynamic timekeeper for the band. For 30 years he's rocked the states from east to west in bands such as 21 Guns, Crown Of Iron, and Fallen Angel. He brings a drive that has been lost by so many similar bands, rounding out Templar in a way that needs to be both seen and heard.
Shelton Harvell has been playing bass for 40 years and provides the thumping groove behind Templar. He has played in multiple bands, developing a driving, gut punching style and chest pounding sound you expect from a live performance.
Bif Lawrence has been playing guitar for 45 years. Originally from New York State, Bif brings in the rythm and lead sections of Templar. Never flashy and always cool, his experience includes cover band gigs in upstate NY and PA as well as writing and recording original music.
How to find us
Templar is coming soon to Eastern N.C. in 2025. We are currently preparing an extensive song list and will be hitting venues by early summer.
