notes
Rick Barry's voice is as honest as a drink at a bar with an old friend. His lyrics are raw, unapologetic poetry that reach well beyond his years. Evolving from folk music, into a sound that could only be described as "neo-folk," he has truly reinvented himself and has been met with rave reviews in cities across North America.
What sets Barry worlds apart from other songwriters is his complete lack of censorship. Where others use metaphors and pleasantries, he speaks with unadulterated candor. He has no limits, from politics to death, to the ills of society and the human element; he delivers a truth so bare, it's almost innocent.
His new EP "This Antedilluvian World," represents the maturing of an already seasoned artist. And while his resume boasts numerous awards and accolades such as winning the grand prize for his song "Courage for a Rainy Day" in the John Lennon Song-Writing Contest among others, he dwells not in the past, but is constantly looking to the future of what his music will become.
In addition to accolades for his music, Rick has also received notice for the conception of his award-winning Night in Progress Series, which challenges songwriters to pen a full set of new, never-before-heard music in one month's time. These nights, originating at The Saint in Asbury Park, NJ, have hosted local as well as national talent and have recently expanded to include venues in other areas.

Simply the best singer/songwriter of his generation..
author: Colie Brice/AERIA RecordsRick's singing and songs personify all that is great about the Asbury Park music scene.. and beyond.. Incisive lyrics, classic melodies, and a heartfelt, warm guitar style.. Recently Rick highlighted Asbury Park's first annual Wave Gathering by performing a show stealing, stunning set at Be Green that thoroughly captivated an audience that spilled out into the street.. Nothing further said could adequately describe how truly great Rick was that fateful evening..
Love it!
