Gary owned the Vancouver Antique Mall, the largest full service antique mall in Southwest Washington, for over 14 years. He has experience in retail sales, estate sales and appraisal services. In 1989, he received his certification as an antique and personal
property appraiser and started doing antique appraisal clinics in the manner of“the Antiques Road Show”, for various fundraisers and retirement centers.

“Saturday Antique Preview” on KVAN radio, expanded antique appraisal clinics to include the MAC Club, Portland Art Museum, Elders in Action, and retirement communities, and is a semi-regular guest appraiser and antique expert on AM Northwest and Good Day Oregon.

“The majority of the songs include lyrics of the west, because I love to write about things I’ve experienced,” she says. “Rodeo, cowboys and the ranch way of living shows through a lot in my music.”

Indeed, Harms has been praised for her pure country voice since she signed her first record deal with the famed producer Jimmy Bowen for Capitol in the early 1990s. After that Harms moved to on to her celebrated Cowgirl Dreams (1999 / Warner Western). That release was followed by last year’s After All.
In 2003, Harms was named Female Vocalist of the Year and accepted the award for Song of the Year from the Western Music Association. She is also a multiple winner of Academy of Western Artists Awards, including the top honor of Entertainer of the Year for 2002, and she continues building audiences through appearances on the famed Grand Ole Opry and a recent stint at New York City’s Carnegie Hall.

“Growing up, I learned to sing and write songs by listening to Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard and George Strait,” says Harms. “I remember seeing Emmylou Harris, and, after playing a while with the famous Hot Band, she came out on stage with just her black, Gibson guitar, and showed that she really is an artist. That’s what I try so hard to be able to do. You should’t need all that electronic computerized stuff to make your voice perfect. You just need your heart.”

Harms lives in Oregon with her family on a ranch that was homesteaded by her great, great grandfather in 1870. They raise quarter horses and Christmas trees.
