BARREL HOUSE
Friday, July 16 2010, 8.30pm
Port Macquarie based trio Barrel House came together early 2007, a three piece blues, roots, rock, dance and funk outfit that in it’s short existence has begun to get people to take notice.
Barrel House are continually challenging themselves to make each show better then the last. With over 250 shows under their belt covering a good chunk of Australia, Barrel House are working very hard to become the ultimate live band. While there is structure around their live set no two performances will be the same as the band like to feel their way through each and every song often letting crowd reactions determine the length of a particular section. It is these grooves that keep people out of their seats all night.
Barrel House have played Open Arms festival through winning a triple j unearthed competition, it was this exposure that gave the band good airplay on Triple J and sent them to the top of the triple j unearthed roots charts. The band have also played Festival of the Sun, Great Noosa Camp Out and supported amazing artists such as Ani DiFranco, Blue King Brown, Jeff Lang, Mama Kin, Ash Grunwald and many more. To top it of Barrel House performed at the 20th Anniversary of Byron Bay Bluesfest in April. Sharing the bill with amazing artists such as Ben Harper, John Butler, Michale Franti, Xavier Rudd, Blue King Brown and so many more..
2009 will see the release of the bands first ep ‘Open Road’. Barrel House have managed to break free from the earthy feel of other roots bands to become something new entirely. Barrel House have added extra dimensions with trumpet from Jason Heise and stunning backing vocals from Lisa Hunt who has graced the stage with Pavarotti, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton and James Brown to name a few.
