Kick off Beef-A-Rama with Brian Wicklund and the Barley Jack’s blend of original bluegrass, Celtic and roots music played with acrobatic skill and soul! They are masters of the fiddle, guitar, bass, and drum who meld their divergent backgrounds of blues and bluegrass, classical and Celtic, R&B and bebop to inspire each other and create something entirely new!

Virtuosity, magic and a little danger combine to make every performance unique.  The first thing you will  notice is how much fun the Barley Jacks have when they perform. These Minnesota–based veterans of years in the musical trenches enjoy making music together so much that they sometimes giggle like little kids completely lost in a moment of play.
