Good morning music fans. Hope everyone is staying warm during these frigid days. So I thought I would try something different and showcase one of our local talented bands. This past Sunday I went to Jays Piston Broke Pub and took in the afternoon matinee with Barb Wire. I met and talked with band members Jeff, Adam, Ted, and Jerry. The band brands their music as country dance tunes mixed with tear-jerkers that will cut you to the bone. And that is exactly what their music does and I was blown away with grit and great vocals. Covering artists such as George Jones, Clint Black, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings, to name a few, these old country classics come to life with their own take on them and you can hear such heart and soul as they breath new life into the oldies. Country is a big part of this band but they are also known to do rock tunes. One member Jerry Bouchard was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame a while back. Together these guys have over 25 years in the local music scene and they get together once a month to entertain you. This is just one example of the talent that this city has and if you get the chance to take in Barb Wire, please do so, you will not be disappointed. These guys are definitely on my favorite band list. Way to go and keep pumping out those tunes.
So until next time stay tuned, stay safe, and be kind.
