Biography
"With rich harmonies, steady train grooves and incredible stage vibe, Barley Wik displays an incredible knowledge of roots music that mixes bluegrass with folk, hints of gospel and a whole lotta attitude...." Jason Valleau, The Polyjesters, Music Director of the Mountain View Music Fest
Barley Wik sing like angels and play an array of acoustic instruments like they sold their souls to the devil. The all- female band reinvents old-time music with an impressive collection of well crafted original songs that reshape folk and country with a little twist of bluegrass.
Barley Wik's sound reflects a musical style as diverse as their individual histories and landscapes. The prairie roots of Saskatchewan, the East influences of small town Ontario, the British style of the 60's and a strong tie to the land culminate in a style and lyrical content that is uniquely Barley Wik. Old-time country, folk, blues, bluegrass and spirituals, inspire Barley Wik's songs. All members are song writers and each bring a creative honesty to their music making which keeps it real.
