John Barrell + Musician in Alex, LA

ABOUT

I’ve been playing and writing since 1980 and have a wellspring of material both finished and unfinished. I’ve released to date 3 studio albums (Transitions, Reflections and Illusions), a single that was used to benefit out military, and appeared on projects by a hip hop/rock artist as well as contributed vocals to a song that will be part of an independent film’s soundtrack (dieting with Marge Raymond who once recorded with and toured as a backing vocalist for the Electric Light Orchestra and has also recorded and performed with members or Aerosmith.) In my years of performing have played stages in Northern California, Houston and all over Louisiana at Festivals, clubs, private and corporate events, parties, bars and any other place you can imagine…. Probably up to a thousand performances in the last 42 years. My original music has been played on both terrestrial and internet radio radio stations all over the world as well as streamed internationally.
