The Barrel Boys Churn Out Toe Tapping Tunes
Posted on
Featuring luscious vocals and barn-burning instrumentals, The Barrel Boys are a new staple on the bluegrass scene.
Appreciated for their versatility and eclecticism, their repertoire ranges from bluegrass to classic country, old-time, folk, and roots rock.
Their debut full-length album of entirely original tunes features the superb song writing of all five members, and demonstrates the uniqueness of their sound while staying rooted in tradition.
Recorded live off the floor in the space of just a few days, it is both spontaneous and authentic sounding.
Always entertaining, these guys churn out toe-tapping tunes that pair perfectly with good times and discerning music fans.
Reuben And The Dark is a collection of five multi-instrumentalists and vocalists that make chilling, emotive folk and soul driven by dark, introspective lyrics exploring the duality of misery and joy.
Taj Weekes & Adowa unite social consciousness with a Reggae groove, then blend in elements of acoustic roots-rock and Afro-folk.
Graydon James & the Young Novelists play everything from roots-rock barnstormers to heartbreaking folk ballads. Over the duration of three fast-paced years, they have won a Galaxie Rising Star award, toured several times, played innumerable festivals, clubs, house concerts and cafés, and released three recordings. Their most recent recording, In The Year You Were Born (2012), showcases impressive, road-tested musicianship. That musical prowess, combined with excellent song writing – whether about love or loss, the tragedies of high school, the joys of parenthood, small town dreams, or big city truths – makes for a wholehearted, unreserved, rousing connection to their audience. It’s what really good music is all about.
