Early in 2006 Everett Brown, Mary Audette, and Tim Reilly formed Barnacle -- a high energy Celtic/sea music/folk band. (See detailed bio in blog) Entrenched deeply in the traditions of the sea (Tim as rigger, sailor, chanteyman and Everett as member of the Wickford Express and Compass Rose and Jon as a member of Sharks Come Cruising), Barnacle sails into a variety of world ports, evolving from the band members' diverse musical backgrounds, ethnicities, and tastes--hence many ports, one sea.
Nominated as best New Act of 2009 by the Motif Magazine Music Awards.
Ahh- Tim can play some spoons and bones- I tried to play Banish Misfortune once with him, Not well on my part, I used to be good at that song..I wish I could still play Irish music, I used to study it but it's been so long i don't remember any tunes.. Busy playing the hits, Beatles, Van Morisson etc...
It was great to see Tim and Mary on Saturday! This is the poster for our CD Release show this Friday! Please spread the word. Tracks can be heard at myspace.com/thejethros peace, Jonathan (Boney Jethro)
