Harris said she was nervous, but any jitters weren't visible on stage. At one point, Urban was right up next to Harris as they jammed on their guitars.
"That was so cool," said Harris.
Her performance with Urban was meant to highlight to need for support programs for young musicians. They were given the opportunity to play through the GRAMMY Foundation.
Harris' first recording was recently released on "The Way You Look Tonight," a benefit record by Jennifer Porter.
Harris is also part of the New Hampshire Youth Jazz Ensemble through the Manchester Community Music School.
Harris said she hopes to attend a school like the Berklee College of Music to pursue her music career.
