PA0B4 THETm SEPTEMBER 12, 1983 First coffehouse features Drake The Barry Drake perfor mance at Meredith’s first coffeehouse on Sept. 8 was an unforgettable event. As soon as he took to the stage, an old Martin guitar in hand, his life began to unfold through his songs. From gnswing up on the crowded streets of New Jersey, through his early years as an apprentice perfonner in New York’s Greenwich Village, Barry developed into one of the best known and most well traveled troubadors In the country. Newsweek Magazine has recently named.Barry as one of the top college performers In the country today. Besides having his own finely crafted songs, Barry also performed some of the most compelling and Interesting traditional and contemporary music that is around today. Barry’s songs ranged from “Troubadors,” a description of tt>e ups and downs in the life of a traveling musician and “I' Won’t Be Reconstructed.” a seething post Civil War ballad from the viewpoint of the South, to the poignant "Grandma’s Old Piano,” a bouncy retrospective glimpse into Bary’s musical “roots”. To round up his show, Barry in cluded some driving bottleneck blues and an Incredible show stepping version of “Somewhire Over The Rain- txjw". His throaty voice could growl, croon and glide easily Into a falsetto while he acc ompanied himself on both solid rtiythm and dexterous finger style guitar. Barry has released 3 albums to date, “Happy Lan ding,” “Roadsongs,” and “Solo Sun/ivor.” Barry has appeared In concert with Michael Jackson, Livingston Taylor, Emmylou Hanis, Loudon Wainwright III, John McKuen (of the Dirt Band), David Bnsmberg and many others.
