Acclaimed Celtic fingerstyle guitarist Jerry Barlow is a virtuoso
musician, a warm and accessible performer, and a world-class
storyteller. His repertoire is composed of a synthesis of
traditional music from the British Isles and his own original
Celtic-inspired compositions.
Barlow’s music transports the listener across time and space on an
imaginary journey to a rustic Irish fishing village or the misty
Scottish Highlands or an enchanted English forest. In concert,
Barlow brings the songs alive by sharing the history, legend and
humor behind the music. His expressive arrangements have been
described as “music to soothe the soul, warm the heart, and lift the
spirit.”
Music from Barlow’s first CD, KEEPSAKE, is played on
National Public Radio stations throughout the country and was
used in a PBS documentary, “Songs of our Children.” The title
track from Barlow’s second CD, BRING DOWN THE STORM,
won a prestigious Indie Project Award for “Best Songs of 2006.”
Other tracks from that recording have been used in a Landlocked
Films and University of Colorado production, “Learn More About
Climate.” Barlow’s latest CD, FIELDS AND FENCES, was
released in October 2011 to excellent reviews.The album was
one of five nominees for Instrumental Album of the Year (2011)
by the Independent Music Association. Tracks from this CD will
be heard in another Landlocked Films/University of Colorado
project on population growth.
Barlow’s performances include the University of Denver’s
Lamont School of Music in Gates Auditorium,The Arvada Center
for the Performing Arts, High Plains Public Radio’s Living Room
Concert Series in Amarillo, TX, Swallow Hill Music
Association, and many other art centers, theatres and libraries
throughout the Midwest and Rocky Mountain Region.
