The Barry Arvin Young Band is a southern New England rock band that has been writing, recording and doing shows in the northeast region of the country for many years, starting on Congress Street in Portland Maine in the early 1990s and working state and region wide in the years following. Understanding that promoting a new band and a sound would mean more than just being known in downtown Portland, Young and company hit the road, covering Maine and New Hampshire literally from one end to the other, corner to corner and end to end, promoting the band's name and sounds everywhere it went. These days it is difficult indeed to find a part of northern New England that this rock trio has not performed in at some point in recent times. Whether playing dancehall favorites or their own style of progressive rock, this group has proven itself to be one of New England's longest enduring and hardest working outfits, adding more fans and airplay as they go. Fronted by singer/guitarist/songwriter Barry Arvin Young, he is currently accompanied by rock legend Tom Hall on bass and vocals and newcomer to the group Jason Young on drums.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................
