The Asheville NC trio Barrel House Mamas are a roots/bluegrass/amaericana flavor that has been captivating audiences all over the southeast this summer ... basically think "Dixie Chicks for the roots scene" - great songs, great stage presence and considered to be a true "band on the rise" in the region.

Their cd "gathering" conjures the sweet and sultry sounds of the Appalachain mountains they call home in their robust multi-layered harmonies and original songs. Imagine the old-timey pluck of a jumbo-bodied guitar sliding between the bluesy roll of a classical guitar and the twang of claw-hammer, and sometimes contemporary funk, banjo. Now, lace this sound with middle-eastern inspired flute lines, the wailing honk of harmonica, and the soulful belting of heartfelt poetry. The result is a sound that is all at once bluesy, rootsy, folk, americana, a touch of country, and truly these Mamas' own.
