Otter Opry *loves* to break new ground in the Monterey bluegrass scene,and here we go again: On Thursday, July 9 th at Monterey United Methodist
Church, East Coast student band Barkley Cove will be demonstrating in no
uncertain terms what “new blood” in our favorite genre is all about.
Barkley Cove is a folk/bluegrass band known for its rich harmonies, with
Jillian Dolan (guitar, vocals), Silas Gross (guitar, banjo, vocals), Yusuf
Miller (mandolin, bass, vocals), and Robert Myers (bass) creating a sound
that blends folk, rock, country, and bluegrass with imaginative
songwriting. A quick search on the internet turns up praise and excitement
for the group – like, “These youngsters are killing it!”
Robert explains the remarkable group dynamics of the band: “We love
playing with each other because we write all our songs collectively and
have a strong personal connection to one another, which makes each
performance like playing music with friends while also connecting with each
other and the audience on a deeply emotional level. Our goal is to take the
listener on a journey that evokes the indescribable collective relationship
that music forms between listeners.
Barkley Cove has never set foot in California, and some of them have
never even been to the American West. They are excited to visit and learn
more about the people and culture of the area, while also forming a
connection with a part of the country that is known for innovative music and
stunning nature. Let’s welcome them with open arms and see if we can
“grass them up” a little bit more when they come to see us. And, how about
some dinner before the show? Dinner at 5pm ($15 before July 4 th , $20 after
that).
7pm. Monterey United Methodist Church, 1 Soledad Drive, Monterey.
$35/show (CBA members $30; 15 and under free). Online sales will
end at 11am on the day of the show. www.otteropry.org
