* Singer/songwriter * Acoustic rhythm guitarist * Electric bassist *
WELCOME
Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Barry Waller started his illustrious music career alternately playing bass in Mazarin, a highly successful Long Island band, playing drums for legendary rock critic Lester Bangs, and playing both as a hired session musician. Throughout, he developed into an introspective, self-contained songwriter and guitarist. Collectively, these roles have shaped Barry into a solo entertainer capable of bringing his unique music versatility to audiences large and small, on two continents.
Between successful seasons at Long Island's North Fork wineries and waterfront restaurants, Barry often brings his music to European audiences. During his residencies in Denmark, Finland and beyond, this seasoned performer engages crowds with familiar favourites not typically associated with acoustic guitar-based "troubadour" entertainment: solo renditions of overlooked, underplayed classics such as "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Bennie & The Jets" and the Doors' "Touch Me" come across like a breath of fresh sonic air, ultimately allowing listeners to forget predictables such as "Sweet Home Alabama" or "Brown-Eyed Girl."
Barry's song list features a careful cherry-pick of Beatles, Dylan, James Taylor, Elton John, Rolling Stones, Doors, Bowie, Grateful Dead and way beyond, all reworked to suit his flair for creative arrangement without forsaking recognizablility essential to crowd-pleasing. As a singer/songwriter he continues to open for national acts.
In addition to becoming a favorite solo performer on Denmark's pub circuit, Barry toured Europe in 2007 as bassist for Blackmore's Night, founded by Deep Purple's legendary Ritchie Blackmore. 
Since his recent return to the States from pub performances in Finland, Barry Waller is available to play your venue, special event, private party, and more. Audio clips of his original and cover song work are available on the audio page.
