Skip Wilson or Barry as my old friends remember me. Mike Reeves, who is a die hard rocker, who dabbles from time to time in my folly.

Hopefully I sound like me...unique...and with a story to tell and emotions to share.
Born and raised in this wonderful state of Colorado. Attended high school in Englewood Colorado. Thank God I have a day Job as a firefighter for Littleton Fire Rescue! I was heavily influenced by the likes of James Taylor, Jackson Brown, Elvin Bishop, Jim Croce, Stephen Stills,CSN&Y...from that era. Now I have a great appreciation for folks like Shawn Mullins, Amos Lee, John Prine, John Meyer, Jack Johnson, Wendy Woo, Angie Stephens, John Erlandson,Ken K, Dave Middleton, Russ Griffin ...and a host of other Indie artists as well. I have a very arrhythmic style coupled to a rather ecclectic genre in the tunes I turn out from time to time. I've opened for a few cool folks such as POCO and Firefall recently...Ty Herndon...The Coasters too!! I like playing any venue where there is a good listening crowd. Sometimes it's tough to play in the bars where you are competing with fifteen sports channels...not so much that folks don't listen....but I get wrapped up in the games too!! Hope to see you out there sometime...please stop me and say hello... If I'm not around...I'm probably throwin' flies at crafty ol' trout with my son Ben.
I'm excited to hear some new stuff from you Skip! Let me know when you play next, I will make sure I make it out with Ben to see you! Good luck with the recording!!!
Join us tonight (Dec. 26th) at Trinity Irish Pub just off the El-Rancho, Evergreen exit on I-70. Great food, drink, and good cheer to be had by all. The perfect post-Christmas party! Cheers.

Hey Skip! So glad you found me here! I gotta say " Fossil" is one heavy song. It blew me away! Keep in touch and say hello to Mary Pat and any of the rest of the Beams Alumni you come across.
I have such great memories of the past 2 years playing at your old Aspenperk with you and all the other great musicians!!. Looking forward to collaberating with you in 2008!!!
Thanks so much for your friendship, John
