The Trail & District Arts Council presents a unique take on old time bluegrass from The High Bar Gang at The Bailey Theatre on Saturday, February 10 at 7:30 pm.
Some of the most accomplished, beloved musicians in BC have come together in the local supergroup The High Bar Gang.
Vocal harmony is key to the band’s sound, and the blend of Shari Ulrich, Wendy Bird and Kirby Barber along with guitarist Barney Bentall and banjo player Dave Barber is simply stunning. Supported by Rob Becker on bass, and Colin Nairne on guitar and mandolin, the band’s repertoire stays firmly rooted in the golden age of bluegrass music with songs by the likes of Bill Monroe, The Stanley Brothers and Del McCoury.
The band has two Juno Award nominated albums: “Lost and Undone: A Gospel Bluegrass Companion” and
“Someday the Heart will Trouble the Mind”.
The High Bar Gang is:
Dave Barber: banjo, mandolin and guitar, vocals
Kirby Barber: vocals, guitar and bass
Rob Becker: bass
Barney Bentall: vocals and guitar
Wendy Bird: vocals, guitar
Colin Nairne: guitar, mandolin and vocals
