Ekoostik Hookah - Loner

cassidy

Back in 1990, while attending Kent State University, five friends formed a garage/jam band. We called ourselves "Smokin' Barrel" (often "Strugglin' Barrel"). Among others Grateful Dead and Phish were heavily covered. After Kent, life happened. Logistics became difficult and opportunities to jam became very scarce. MANY YEARS would usually pass between "sessions."

Beginning in 2022, we gather once a year as brothers to unplug from life and "dust off those rusty strings just one more time... Gonna make 'em shine!"

SMOKIN' BARREL is:
Jeff .....…… PRS MIRA SE Electric Guitar (L) & Vocals
Gerg .......... Epiphone 339 Electric Guitar (R) & Vocals
Craig ......... Modulus 5-String Bass & Vocals
Reeks ........ Stereo Cajon & Driver of the Winnebago
Jenn .......... Merch & Adult Supervision
Paco .......... Martin D-18v Guitar, Vocals & Recordings

Following is a sample of the songs attempted at a private house party in Hudson, Ohio during August of 2024. We know... we MAKE many MISTAKES, it's LOOSE and SLOPPY AF. We have a good time...
