After years of playing in various cover bands, he had the opportunity to study piano at the prestigious Jazz Studies Program at USC. While in the Los Angeles area, Barry formed (became the leader of) the band, “RamFunkshus,” a wildly successful and multiple award-winning group specializing in corporate and wedding events. After moving to Auburn in 2011, he quickly found many musical outlets in which to showcase his talents, including performing with the popular group, “On Air,” which combines classic rock with powerful horns. The music of “Chicago” provides the perfect opportunity to incorporate elements of gospel, pop, rock, jazz and classical influences, and also gives Barry occasion to showcase his rich baritone/low-tenor voice. When not performing, Barry can be found spending time with his high-school sweetheart, two children, and two grandchildren.
