The Minnesota-based Barley Jacks is comprised of front–man Brian Wicklund on fiddle and mandolin, Mike Cramer on guitar, Joel Arpin on drums, and bassists Keith Yanes, Kevin Rowe and Josh Granoski. They are jaw–dropping instrumentalists and longtime masters of the fiddle, guitar, bass and drum who meld their divergent backgrounds of blues and bluegrass, Celtic, R & B and bebop to inspire each other and create something entirely new. Their 2010 debut recording Either Side of Night and 2011 recording The Lighthouse has been met with great praise by reviewers. Virtuosity, magic and a little danger combine to make every performance unique.

Tapers notes: Part of Washington County Bluegrass Festival. This was a rough day weather wise. The day started out fine, blue skys and a bit of wind. But as it went on, the wind picked up, and it started lightly raining during this set. You can hear the wind in spots, but it actually didn't show up as often as I was thinking it would. Just something to keep in mind when listening back. The band was great, I had never heard them before, and I hope to see them again in better conditions.
"Got a mind to ramble, got a mind to roam
I'm travelin' light and I'm slow coming home"
