About Me

My Photo
Guitarist David Barrett is a bit of a renaissance man, o.k. well maybe that's exaggerating a bit, but he's equally at home discussing his instrument of choice (electric, acoustic, classical, resophonic, and steel guitars, mandolin, laud), music as a whole (history, composition), art (his preferred medium is pastels), or consciousness studies (he's taken part in online discussions with American philosopher Ken Wilber).
David has composed music for film and television, toured and recorded with many top Canadian artists, and occasionally performs as a duet with Randy Finney, in which they play old favorites from the Chet Atkins and Les Paul songbook.
As well as many collaborations, Barrett has a series of self produced solo guitar albums, and has played solo acoustic concerts throughout Canada, including The Canadian Guitar Festival. He was the Director of Special Events with Fingerstyle Guitar.ca, a lead guitarist for the popular Classic Albums Live concert series, and is now currently a member of the coaching faculty with League Of Rock.
In 2010, David Barrett formed the David Barrett Trio which is an instrumental progressive rock power trio produced by Alex Lifeson of Rush.
