Barry is blues royalty; a true legend among blues drummers and connoisseurs. Thus, his name "the Baron of the Blues," as musicians often introduce him, is a perfect fit with his real name, Baron. Barry's playing personifies the quintessential blues-based drummer: a deep pocket, tight groove and supportive agility. Barry spent years touring with Shemekia Copeland on a myriad of domestic and international tours. Before that, he toured for years with her father, the legendary Johnny Copeland. Currently, Barry is the house drummer at the famous Manhattan blues venue, Terra Blues. There he works with the five time WC Handy Award and Grammy Award nominee, Michael Powers, as well as with staple musicians in the NYC blues scene such as Jerry Dugger, SaRon Cranshaw, Clarence Spady, Bobby Radcliff, Steve Guyger, Harlem Blues Project, and the Grammy nominated Heritage Blues Orchestra, among many others. On The Baron of the Blues, his first release as a solo artist, Barry is also featured as an amazing vocalist, all recorded live and accompanied by Hugh Pool, Brian Mitchell and Big Apple Blues.
