Our first CD

- Overserved -

was released on
March 17, 2005


"Compared to B.C.-based folk groups ...Three Row Barley is closer to trad Celtic music... Perhaps this is because the group emphasizes vocals over instrumental virtuosity; There is a sense of purity here..."
- Tom Harrison
(The Province, Vancouver, BC, Apr. 26, 2005)

Three Row Barley, the best Canadian Celtic band around, belting out that 'Maximum Celtic'.

 Thundering vocals, sizzling fiddle and enough presence to pull you right up onto the table-top.

Led by Roger Buston (formerly of top local band The Quenchers), Three Row Barley specializes in a great time and organic vocal harmony from Roger (lollopin' guitar and vocal), and Brian Taylor (rumblin' bodhran and vocal), with Chris Williscroft (thumpin' bass and mandolin) rounding out the sound. Adding harmonium, vocals, guitar, accordion and various other instruments is Greg Kelly.  Fiddle duties covered off by some of Vancouver's best-known names, such as 'Dangerous' Mary Brunner out of Copper SkyTom Neville and White Rock's own Avery Yackel.

·         Jumping songlist of traditional Celtic and Maritime music, great audience - proven originals and classics from Great Big Sea, Pogues, Makem and Clancy, Stan Rogers and others.

·         Vocal harmonies a specialty

·         Live celtic music is a proven audience draw, justifying your cover charge

·         Experienced acoustic quintet, fully equipped, professional attitude

·         Great rates

·         A lotta fun!

We love all kinds of rooms, from jumping pubs, outdoor festivals and corporate parties to 'softseat' showcases. Our rates are reasonable, and we are looking forward to making your clan gathering a true EVENT.
