The Tim Barry train is pulling through Florida at the end of April. Known for hopping railcars and going wherever life takes him, Timās brand of folk is about as raw as it gets. He speaks truth… no more, no less.Ā Some of it heart wrenching and some of it tongue-in-cheek fun.Ā All of it, however, hits you right where it counts and you gotta love the stories heās singing.
Former front man ofĀ punk band Avail in the ’90s and early ’00s, Tim has been honing his solo folk singer craft since 2005.Ā In that time heās released 6 albums, including last yearās Lost & Rootless. Tim has a knack for connecting with his audience. In fact, he may even leave the stage to join you for a sing along on the floor.Ā In the handful of times Iāve seen Tim, he loves to get close to the fans and treat themĀ like friends that are just hanging and having a good time.
Once, when his voice gave out, he refused to not continue the show, claiming heād never missed one yet andĀ wasn’tĀ about to start now.Ā So he strummed his guitar in the midst of the crowd as they belted out each and every one of his words on his behalf.Ā And, thatās what youāll get at every one of Timās shows … sincerity and good times.
Opener, Bartender BrianĀ (pictured at the top of this article) is one of Orlando’s favorites. Here’s some of the great things we have to say about this tremendous singer/storyteller:
“Bartender Brian’sĀ a hell of a musician.”
“the kind of tunes where you want each syllable emphasized.”
“You can feel every ounce ofĀ his soul being passionately forced through his beard from the moment he takes the stage.”
“He was charmingly unaware of the fact that he was kicking ass, and understandably distracted by the fact that his wife was due to give birth at any second.”
And, sometimes his wife even joins him onstage. (P.S. Congratulations on the new addition to the family!) š
“She perfectly complements him, elegantly slicing through his dirty, shredded vocal chords that he forces honesty through so beautifully.”
“heās the only fucker to make Mitch cry at The Social.“
