Details:
Hailing from the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia Michael Barry-Rec delivers a dynamic acoustic/steel soundscape that knows few boundries.

Over the past two decades this master mason/musician has been physically taking hundreds of tons of random shapes we call stone and giving them purpose -and- diligently digging for musical treasures and giving them a voice - (a unique chemistry that has served this artist very well).

His debut, "On The Road To North Mountain", is an instrumental odyssey that definitely defies simple description. Organically rich acoustic guitar, soaring atmospheric lap steel supported by hammond organ arrangements make up the core of this melodic gem. Progressive Ears magazine states, "Very rarely does something knock me off my feet like this disc from Virginia guitarist Michael Barry-Rec. This is music that needs to be heard and experienced." Music Street Journal says, "Sometimes words just don't do justice, such is the case here." Prognaut reviews exclaims, "This whole album is a highlight - one of the better independent, even major releases that has crossed my path in a long while."

With his second full-length release, Streams In The Desert Michael takes his signiture sonic and soul soothing sound to new heights. This album has been nominated "Acoustic Film Score Album of the Year" at the 2008 LA Music Awards.
