This is a review of George Barry and his brother at Jason Vineyards. George was part of the monthly Long Island Jazz on the Vine promotion. The Long Island Vineyards in an attempt to bolster attendance during the dreary winter months have live music to complement the various terrific wines available for tasting. This was our first time seeing George and it won’t be our last. He played terrific music ranging from …

Glen Campbell’s Wichita Lineman (my favorite of Glen’s) to America to Neil Young, Billy Joel and so on. He willingly solicited requests from the crowd, but I preferred to see what his choices would be and was not disappointed in any of his selections. He strategically placed plastic Easter egg shakers on the tops of the wine barrels (doubling as tables) to have the audience add a little percussion to their music. My wife and I met George personally during one of his breaks and got to chat about his history and some Beach Boy history and music. Terrific, personable guy. The mix of great music with terrific wines was an unbeatable combination. Check out his website www.GeorgeBarry.Net for his upcoming gigs.

Hey, just for fun I put myself up on Yelp! If you care to review me (my performances at Various places) feel free!!!!!!!!! It helps to get people acqainted with what I do. Just go there and look for GeorgeBarry Thank you!

You know how it goes. You’re in a band, and you’re doing your thing: the daily grind, of rehearsals and recordings and then the bassist comes in and has a girl on his arms.that you cannot forget. Something about her, Do you say something??? Do you wait to see if they break up (and then say something??)…it goes on for what seems forever. Well that’s what happened in the band “The Left Banke”. Tim Finn was the bassist, the guy with the crush was Micheal Brown (Michael David Lookofsky,legally)..and the girl? “Rene”. Check out GeorgeBarry.net to hear my recording of it. I will be playing it this Saturday 4/16/16 at Jason’s, Vineyard in the first or second set. We start at 2pm.

Things are going great in 2015 (despite the weather!).
As of April I will have the new Barrage Studios completed. This marks a 2x increase in the space I use for recording and rehearsals. This is really meaningful, because I do spend so much time recording. In fact, I will be offering my instrumental CD “Everywhere,All at Once” later on this year. I played everything on it, and I am quite proud of it. With a new studio…more recordings will surface in 2015! Stay tuned!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope to make this place THE place for all aspects of my musical endeavors. The place to go for show dates,audio recordings,videos, still pics and even,(at times) downloads and CDs you can purchase. But it’s not all about me. It’s about you,too. I hope to add your pics,posts and content. I hope you’ll feel free to send whatever you like..and I will review it for publication on this site. (just trying to keep things focused,people).
Stay tuned!
