Barnstorm!! 

The Barnstorm Quartet has come a long way from humble beginnings as a contra dance band in 1997. Over the years the personnel and songs have changed but the sound is still great. The Barnstorm Quartet is notorious for strong rhythm and melodic runs. If you have to put a genre to their brand of tunes "Simple Tunes for Complex Times", it would be Americana.

Barnstorm combines Sharon's Old-Time tunes and rhythmic bowing on fiddle with Billy's lightning speed melodies and hard chops on mandolin; Lee on guitar adds a driving presence and creative improvisation, and Chris's solid Bass, whether it's picked or bowed, just plain works. They are very in tuned to each others' playing and singing, making for an exciting sound.

Old swing greats, Old rock classics, some Old-Time tunes, on occasion a Bluegrass tune, and some originals too. Their mission is to enhance an event, not dominate it, leave the audience with a swing in their step and a smile on their face. They have some very tasteful tunes.
