The Barley Jacks with Brian Wicklund
Innovative bluegrass and roots music played with virtuosic skill and soul
“The Barley Jacks are musicians’ musicians playing seriously good music. If you can sit there and listen to these guys without smiling or tapping your toe, check your pulse.”
–Ron Arsenault, Rock Bend Music Festival
“The Barley Jacks had the crowd standing, clapping, dancing and shouting for almost the entire final hour. They are one finely tuned machine. An absolute
treat to listen to!”
–Greg Schmitz, Sioux River Folk Festival
“I LOVED the band… lot’s of good feedback. The Barley Jacks are dynamic,
exciting and just plain fun!”
–Mary Doub, Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival
The Barley Jacks sing original vocals and play jaw–dropping instrumentals in a spirit of
excitement and fun. They are masters of the fiddle, guitar, bass and drum who meld their
divergent backgrounds of blues and bluegrass, classical and Celtic, R and B and bebop to inspire
each other and create something entirely new.
