Harsha is an avid banjo player and has played in many bluegrass bands over the past 20 years, throughout high school, college, law school, and beyond. While his most recent group disbanded some years ago—and though the amount of time he spends playing has reduced dramatically since becoming a parent—he still occasionally finds time to putz around with his instrument and is always on the lookout for others to jam with.
