Today, I want to take a listen to Barren River Trio. They are at @barrenrivertrio on Twitter if you like what you hear and want to keep up with them. The group is out of Bowling Green, NY and are a folk trio. All three play guitar and sing. There is also some mandolin and harmonica in the tunes. Band members are Alex Day, Danny Moody and Andrew Varson. Now we listen to some of their material. The first song I have chosen is original, live and showcases their harmonies. Good stuff.

In this song, a cover of the Kings of Leon hit, “Use Somebody”, they change it and tweak it, creating an interesting version.

I noticed a lot of musicians following me on Twitter, it was a natural progression to blog them. It’s all about marketing themselves, I love music, a perfect match. Thanks for stopping by.

Good sounding band. they need a bit more bass.
Reminded me a very small bit of Luther Wright and the Wrongs.

A stand up bass would fit in well.
