Vocalist, Bass Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
Looking for a bassist and drummer to form a 3-piece, both must be able to sing/harmonize.
I prefer a female Frontperson on bass, in the soprano range as most female altos have trouble singing my songs an octave higher than I do.
A dude Frontperson would work too if he’s got the voice.
Songwriting is desired but if that's not your thing it's not a deal-killer.
I’ve been performing and recording solo for years now and will continue to do so until/unless I find the right team.
As to my background, I've been in music my whole life. I'm an experienced DJ, sound engineer and musician. I've performed and/or ran sound for shows around the world.
Most of my time these days is spent writing & recording my own songs. If I can't find the right team by the release of my first album my plan is to continue solo and try again with the second album.
I've had a Premiere account here on BandMix for a year with no luck whatsoever so I'm not renewing. It's been only local searches however so I think I'll start broadening my search. What's that going to look like? You tell me. I'm happily married to a wonderful wife that supports me 100% and there's plenty of room on our aspiring farm not to mention my studio. Maybe long distance collabs with week/weekend visits from you? Gotta be the right person tho. No major drama.
Find me on N-sta barbarryanlive.

The Halloween Swing
The Halloween Swing Year: 2023 Genre: Blues
This is a fun song I wrote for my favorite holiday! You can also find it on Spotify or any of the streaming platforms out there. I've never performed it live; can't get my vocal processor to switch between the effects fast enough, mainly. Plus having to switch my guitar to the different settings you hear at the same time, not enough feet!

Pass Through the Fire Demo (Ft. Ali Andrade)
Pass Through the Fire Demo (Ft. Ali Andrade) Genre: Pop
This is my step daughter singing. Sadly, she can't finish the project nor continue in music. I've since re-recorded a full step higher and sang it myself. (An octave lower than her) If I ever get my female front person I'd want it sang just as you hear it here.
