Take What You Can

The Barker Band have been making music together for the last twenty years. Formed in 2004, by twins Jake and Sam Barker (vocals, banjo, mandolin) and Laurie Sherman (guitar) with Nella Johnson (vocals), Tom Wright (bass), Ru Sheeve (drums) and Simon Cohen (fiddle). They have released 7 albums receiving great reviews and press. have played a wide range of festivals, from Glastonbury and Bestival to South by South West, in Texas.

The Barker Band have always taken a left field approach to their music. With their love of the British folk rock bands of the 70s, metal, blues and country you can definitely hear all of the influences in the music with a bluegrass banjo anchoring it all together.
