“Jerry Barlow … is a performer who is skilled, funny and riveting. Out of the many musicians performing today, the vast majority are skilled in either performing on their instrument or in entertaining an audience. It’s very rare and extremely enjoyable to see a musician at the very top of his craft in both areas,” said Scott Beach, director of Colorado Celtic entertainment.

Barlow’s music can be heard regularly on many National Public Radio stations. He has been featured in Fingerstyle Guitar magazine and was profiled in the February 2012 issue of Celtic Connection. He has performed in the Gates Auditorium for the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music, the Arvada Center for the Performing Arts and is a favorite of High Plains Public Radio’s Living Room Concert Series in Amarillo, Texas.

This concert is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. For more information, please call 970-479-2187.
