Some places I've played
Barrie Howard has been entertaining audiences since Elvis was
skinny.  Whether you're looking for a party band, a concert, or a
special program for your school, club, or community, here's the
answer.

Barrie plays fun music for festivals, clubs, and parties.  The song
list include a healthy dose of JIMMY BUFFET tunes with songs
that the old parrothead himself would like; tunes by Eagles,
Beatles, and Rockabilly stars.  Barrie is all acoustic, from his
classical guitar, harmonicas, and kazoos (yes kazoos) to his
weapons of mass percussion.  He performs single and with the
VAGABONDS, his back up  band.  

And the man plays and writes the blues.  From tributes to the
great Lead belly to the tunes of Jimmy Reed and other blues
legends, it's music that will really have you crying in the salsa.

For special programs, Barrie performs his ROOTS OF ROCK AND
ROLL, a fascinating and entertaining look at the evolution of
Americana and country into the Sun Record sessions in Memphis
when the white kid from Tupelo sang black music and changed
the world of entertainment forever.

As Mayor Daley used to say about Chicago politics, call early and
often.

Peace.
