ABOUT BARRETT:
Ronnie Earl proudly refers to Barrett as his musical son; he invited Barrett to join fabled blues band, Ronnie Earl and The Broadcasters, while Barrett was just 16 years old. By 19 Barrett had joined The Monster Mike Welch Band, and spent three years providing guitar – rhythm and lead – alongside Monster Mike. Barrett embraced being a bandleader in 2007, forming The Barrett Anderson Band. His debut album, All The Way down, produced by Jimbo Mathus and recorded in North Mississippi, was released that same year.
For the next five years The Barrett Anderson Band included Ron Levy (organist for BB King, Albert King, and more), and Per Hanson (drummer for Ronnie Earl and The Broadcasters). This lineup recorded Barrett’s sophomore album, The Long Fall, produced by Dennis Brennan, and released in 2012. Shortly after its release Barrett won a 2013 Boston Music Award, Blues Artist of the Year.
