The Barley Boys have taken their live performances from the local bar scene to the festival stages across the nation. This band has reached a new presence in the Celtic Music scene of today. Without a doubt, these five not only entertain, but also excite and re-kindle the Celtic spirit.

The Barley Boys' renowned style and professionalism is combined like no other. They bring you a timeless recipe of traditional Irish music and Maritime favorites with new arrangements that are complimented with original songs written by lead vocalist Mike Babick. The lively lowland fiddling' of Glen Borden blends with the soothing voice of Dublin's own Robbie Murphy. The foot stompin' rhythm section featuring Joe Gherity and Brian Fanning bring it all together in a powerful sound they call their own. The Barley Boys' colorful harmonies and tastefulness are not to be forgotten; instead, they are remembered in the hearts and souls of those who join them.
