About the Artist
With eight albums and a double CD collection in their sporrans to date, BarelyJuice has made themselves one of the most beloved Celtic rock bands in the US. They’ve been heard in popular television shows, films, and tons of Celtic radio programs worldwide.
Besides rocking up Irish traditionals with gravelly authenticity, Kyf Brewer pens the majority of the group’s originals and covers lead vocals, guitar, accordion, harmonica, mandolin, bouzouki, piano, and bagpipes. He originally piped in the Loch Rannoch Pipe Band and performed in Edinburgh’s Millennium March for Prince Charles.
The ayes have it – Barleyjuice is a grand group of talented tunesmiths and prodigious performers, and the absolute best time you can have at a concert without removing your kilt.
