This is where I upload rehearsal tracks for my choir, Bayvox.

I'm just an old amateur folk singer/guitarist just out from the local folk clubs in and around Newcastle, and the North East of England, trying to make his way through the wonderful world of music technology and wherever that takes me.

When you’re the only British artist in a Country music line-up featuring Fort Worth’s finest at this year’s Texas Music Takeover Festival 2017, in London, it takes more than just a powerful voice and a No.3 hit in the UK Country iTunes Charts to blow the boots off a sold-out crowd. It takes a sheer volume of authenticity. Something rising star Jeannine Barry carries in spades.


 


Jeannine’s roots may lie in the UK, but the way she effortlessly tunes into the humble, raw and emotional candour of true Country onstage has allowed her to build a loyal fan base worldwide. Following a range of prestigious support slots, appearances and an invitation to headline the launch party for the UK’s biggest country music festival C2C (Country 2 Country) 2017 she packed her bags for Nashville, recording and touring with Blake Shelton’s guitarist, Kevin Post.


 


 “Her voice and talent are not only moving and honest but “Authentically Country”. It has been a while, since my days teaching Beyoncé Knowles actually, that I have been so excited about teaching a young performer.” - David Lee Brewer, Star Vocal Coach. 


Jeannine’s sincerity, honest lyrics and exceptional talent, continue to propel her. Often compared to Carrie Underwood, LeAnn Rimes and Emmylou Harris, Jeannine feels appreciative to be included in such company. Humble, her music is a force. Her unique blend of empowering fun-filled tinged stompers and bittersweet country ballads, will have you running to the dance floor to kick the dust off your heels.


 


After a hugely successful headline show in London, Jeannine has started 2018 off with her new music release 'Sweet Spot' in time for her sets at this year's Country 2 Country festival at The O2, London and has recorded an 'Under The Apple Tree' session for Bob Harris. This is just the beginning of an exciting and promising year for Jeannine Barry.
