Barry Brogan

Barry Brogan has been searching for almost forty years for the best guitar…Six- and 12-string, bottleneck slide, and the vintage music for which they were made

American music that became blues, Piedmont, and swing, from Bessie Smith, Robert Johnson, Blind Boy Fuller, Jimmie Rodgers. . American music that has kept jug bands, string bands and swing bands busy and listeners happy for a hundred years. So far……

Chuck Spano who will be playing with Barry for this event can be found playing percussion with a variety of musicians both here and abroad and plays bodhran, washboard, spoons, bones, cajon, and a host of exotic percussive instruments. He is considered by some to be one of the best improvisational percussionists anywhere and often employs simple percussion instruments to achieve a variety of sounds and coloration, always preferring to add color and texture to a performance without detracting from vocals or other instrumentation.
