Lockwood Barr

From the moment she steps into the spotlight and begins picking her banjo her dads 1972 Gibson Mastertone, to be exact its undeniable that being on stage is where Lockwood Barr feels most at home.

The Tiburon, California native credits her successes thus far, which include Country Music Association emerging artist recognition and winning an Independent Country Music Association Award as banjo player for bluegrass group The Nashvegas Ramblers, to fearless pursuit of her passions. That, and her incredibly tight-knit musical family.

My dad always says that he knew he wanted to marry my mother when he walked into her apartment and saw a banjo sitting there, smiles Lockwood. Music is a way of life for the Barr family. With a sister who grew up singing alongside her in church choir, a mother who once shared the stage with Grammy-winner John Hartford and cousin who is the lead man for the Celtic punk band Dropkick Murphys, this multi-instrumentalist is hard-pressed to remember a time in her youth where she wasnt around music.

With bluegrass in her blood and determination second to none, the effervescent blonde moved to Nashville (where her mother was raised), enrolled at Vanderbilt University and dove head first into the music industry. Outside of the classroom, the Tennessee transplant spent her time relentlessly performing at local songwriter rounds, channeling her musical influences (which range from Nickel Creek and Stevie Nicks to Beethoven and the Dixie Chicks) and co-writing with fellow artists as often as possible.

Barr is Hard at work on a new full-length album set to release in summer of 2016.
