   About Alan Barrington
Alan Barrington first came on the scene in the 1980's with the single, Old Age. That compilation LP (Maranatha Seven) was released by Maranatha Records. It featured Richie Furay of the group Poco, Leon Patillo of Santana, and singer/songwriter Bob Bennett. Barrington’s single, Old Age, received extensive radio airplay throughout the US and Canada. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Barrington’s Looking for a Novel, is his second effort since the 1998 release of Good Wood his debut CD. Barrington’s time has been well spent with four tracks from this album receiving critical praise from the Suwannee SpringFest (Live Oak, FL), Minnesota Folk Festival, MOVA Arts Festival (Guntersville, AL), and Song Door International Songwriting Competition. He also is a regular at the Charlotte Symphony Summer Pops Series. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking for a Novel is a blend of inspirational songs with lulling melodies “Bluebird Café; cheeky lyrical gems with bluesy swaggers “Kitchen Technician”; and touching, heartfelt pieces with disciplined instrumentation “No Father, No Mother.” Barrington has the ability to sing a tune and write a song that paints such a specific moment in time. This artist is sure to make his mark as a triple threat- songwriter, singer and storyteller. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finalist 2007 Song Door International Songwriting Competition, Honorable Mention 2007 Song Door International Songwriting Competition, Finalist 2006 Song Door International Songwriting Competition, Honorable Mention 2006 Song Door International Songwriting Competition, National Finalist 2005 Alabama MOVA Arts Festival, National Finalist 2004 Minnesota Folk Festival, National Finalist 2004 Suwannee Spring Festivals at Live Oak Florida, National Finalist 2003 Suwannee Spring Festivals at Live Oak Florida, 3rd place 2003 NSAI–Charlotte, NC Songwriting Competition ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ....

Have to catch your next date, I'm playing at Summit in Davidson tonite with Rick Edmiston, mandoline! Yippie - so glad to be back at it! I gave you a good word at the open mic at the Fret this morning and really hope you have a great nite there. I know they will love you all.
