BARKER BROTHERS BAND

Description

The Barkers Brothers Band is next in the Brasstown Community Center Summer Concert Series on Saturday June 10th, 2023. Delivering music that is “born out of the mountains,” the Barker Brothers draw from the depths of five generations of acoustic traditions, to bring a touch of their past to the present. Foot stomping and heartwarming, the Barkers honor an authentic Appalachian heritage of old-time and gospel music combined with a riveting mix of high energy bluegrass and back road Americana designed to keep you on the edge of your seat while taking you back to a simpler time in life. Jeremy Barker minored in Appalachian studies at East TN State University and has gained regional recognition for his extraordinary vocal prowess and seasoned command of the flattop guitar. Scott Barker effectively draws mellow harmonics from the mandolin and adds to the powerful harmony that resounds throughout their performance.  Angie Barker energetically enhances the rhythm on the upright bass.
