Bands at The Barn

Come enjoy the Seacoast’s master troubadours draw from a wide range of original, traditional and contemporary songs and instrumentals. Their vast repertoire of new and old favorites keep every show fresh and different. 

Acoustic Guitar magazine called Harvey Reid “…one of the true treasures of American acoustic music,” with one of his album’s selected as a Top 10 Folk CD’s of all time. Guitar Player Magazine put him on their “desert island” CD list. He was the national fingerpicking champion and international autoharp winner, and Doc Watson took him to lunch for advice in playing the 6-string banjo. Reid’s songs have been recorded by dozens of artists, and after 45 years he is one of the most respected and versatile songwriters and acoustic players on the scene.

Joyce Andersen, a violin troubadour, is becoming known for her songwriting and her increasingly infectious guitar playing. Choirmasters, pastors, peacemakers and song leaders of all kinds are discovering her songs like “Common Ground” (sung by Voices From the Heart for Desmond Tutu in South Africa) and “Filled with Love.” A reviewer said her solo CD ‘Swerve’ will “forever alter your perception of the violin.”
