OLIVIA AND DHANI HARRISON

DHANI HARRISON, THE GUARDIAN OF DAD GEORGE HARRISON’S LEGACY, WAS THRILLED TO MAKE HIS FIRST SOLO ALBUM.

Updated on: November 23, 2017

Many parents are filled with pride when their children go to college. But not, apparently, former Beatle George Harrison, who seemed to find the idea of ​​his son earning a degree in industrial design and physics at Brown University to be anything but fabulous.

‘My dad always wanted me to quit, or maybe he was just kidding,’ recalls Dhani Harrison, 39, who performs at the Belly Up on Monday to support ‘In//Parallel’, her gripping debut solo album . “No matter what he thought, I needed to graduate.

It was 2001, a decade after Dhani (pronounced: Danny) made his concert debut on guitar alongside his father and Eric Clapton in front of 45,000 people in Japan’s Tokyo Dome. But Dhani – who was 6 when he started playing drums on the set Ringo Starr gave him, then switched to guitar at 9 – was in no rush to start a music career after college . Instead, he worked as a racing car designer for a Formula 1 team (racing being a passion shared by Dhani’s famous father).

It was only after her father died at the age of 58 in late 2001 that Dhani turned to music as more than a passionate hobby. He and ELO frontman Jeff Lynne – a member of the elder Harrison’s band in the traveling Wilburys – oversaw the completion of 2002’s ‘Brainwashed’, George’s final album of new music posthumously.

In the same year, Dhani played a leading role in the all-star tribute show ‘Concert for George’ at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Together with Paul Hicks, his partner in thenewo2 – which is both their band and their multimedia company – he oversaw the redesign and release of all of his father’s solo albums. Dhani did the same with “The Traveling Wilburys, Vol. 1” and all the albums Indian music giant (and former San Diegan) Ravi Shankar has done for George’s label, Dark Horse.

Dhani has released three albums with thenewo2 and scored music for various movies and TV shows. Now, with his 40th birthday looming next year, he’s touring in support of his debut solo album. Ten-song strong, “In//Parallel” is a lovingly crafted work that is both inviting and disorienting, as befits an album that taps into both psychedelia and trip-hop.

Still, while “In//Parallel” may seem long overdue, Harrison thinks it’s perfectly timed.

“Creatively, I worked tirelessly on my dad’s catalog, so I think I really wanted to get all my ducks online with thenewno2 and his catalog first,” Dhani said, speaking from his Los Angeles headquarters.

“So it’s a new chapter for me and it’s quite liberating, to be honest. Because I’ve spent a lot of time writing other people’s films, I really approached this album as a soundtrack.

“Not having to make new edits every day – and not having to do another episode next week or fixes for the producer – is like having all your homework and having fun after school!

Dhani laughed when asked how much of an adjustment there was to going from being a member of thenewo2 to being featured as a solo artist under his own name.

“It’s interesting,” he said. “It doesn’t bother me in terms of the press and being on stage, because it’s very similar. The only thing I find weird is when people ask, “What band are you in? And then you have to say your name! »

He laughed again when asked if he rebelled as a teenager – and how, exactly, would the son of a rock and roll icon rebel?

“My parents were pretty cool,” Dhani replied. “I’ve never needed to attract negative attention like some kids do, and I’ve always done very well in school. But I definitely spent a lot of time – I don’t know if you would call that rebellious – doing amateur sports, like rowing.

“I was on the Great Britain rowing team. For years I got up early and went to the river to row. I think my parents always wondered why I was doing this! It was more about proving something to me. Because you’re not on a team like that based on your name. It was hard to do and it was a hard working team.

Because he was in no rush to finish his first solo album, Dhani spent a long time working on it. While his musical influences are obvious – Radiohead, Can, Massive Attack, Peter Gabriel, The Beatles at their most intoxicating – so is his ability to mix, match and create something distinctive.

“It took a very long time and it was a labor of love that I had to do,” he said. “I always wanted my first solo album under my name to be something really well thought out. … It’s like pruning. You reduce it, then you refine everything… So when it was done, it was exactly how I wanted it to be.

Dhani also received valuable feedback from some of his closest musical friends, including Traveling Wilbury alum Tom Petty, who died suddenly on October 2 – just 15 days after performing with The Heartbreakers at KAABOO Del Mar.

“He heard the whole album and he was like the greatest cheerleader,” Dhani said.

“He was so into music on every level and he supported young people to make music. He was also like a member of the family and I have known him all my life. So it’s a huge loss and it’s very difficult without him. »
