~~~~~~~~~~
One of Lansing’s favorite singer/songwriters, Barb Barton, will be appearing at the first Gallery Walk Sunday Performance Series at Everybody Reads in Lansing’s Eastside on January 6th, 2008. Barton’s percussive folk style and two-handed guitar work has mesmerized audiences throughout the Midwest and East Coast. Her show will feature many originals, including several instrumentals which will be featured on her upcoming CD “The River”. Barton’s smooth vocals combine with compelling lyrics to weave a musical pattern that is hard to ignore. She has been compared to Joni Mitchell, Holly Near, and Michael Hedges, and the diversity of her guitar playing is exciting to hear. She keeps audiences entertained between songs as well, telling “jokes so corny they practically have husks“(City Pulse). Barton’s CDs are available at the bookstore or from her web page at www.barbbarton.com. The performance is from 2-4 pm at Everybody Reads, 2019 E. Michigan Ave, Lansing with plenty of parking available. There is no charge for admission to the show. For more information please call Everybody Reads at 376-9900.
