Details:
The Barley Boys have taken their live performances from the local pub scene to the festival stages across the nation. The band has reached a new presence in the Celtic Music scene of today. The Barley Boys have played such venues as The Bethlehem Celtic Classic, The Slainte Fest in Long Island, NY and The Newport Irish Festival in Rhode Island.

Michael Babick, singer, guitarist, and songwriter has been a professional musician for over 20 years. His inspiration for Celtic music comes from researching his lineage; recent trips to Ireland solidified his sense of heritage. The individual talents of The Barley Boys' powerful drums, melodic bass, high energy fiddle and innovative guitars all join together to form a new full and exciting sound.

The Barley Boys' new CD "The Days of Abundance" has nine high spirited original songs written by Michael Babick along with five traditional favorites. The album has a wide range of styles from the rock charged Maggie, Follow Me Up To Carlow and Star of The County Down, to elements of bluegrass in England Goodbye, Weasel in the Barn, to the maritime folk of SeaFarin' Man, plus the beautiful ballad Wings to Fly Home, and many more.

Their debut CD, released in 2000,"It's A Long Drive From Ireland", is a spirited mix of fifteen Irish Pub Songs and Sea Faring originals along with traditional songs with new arrangements.
