“"…Jeb Barry is one of those singer-songwriters that could have been sitting around the dining room table with Steve Earle, Guy Clark, Larry Jon Wilson and all the rest of them in Heartworn Highway... " ”
— Paul Jackson FateaMagazine UK
The Pawn Shop Saints , led by songwriter Jeb Barry, play sparse, and I do mean sparse, acoustic based 'hard dirt' Americana.
If you like Steve Earle, Townsend, or Jason Isbell (who Jeb co-wrote the song "New Year's Eve, Somewhere In The Midwest") then you know where they are coming from musically.. Rounding out the Pawn Shop Saints are Mike O’Neill on guitar and backing vocals, Josh Pisano on drums, Chris Samson on bass and Alan Taylor on keyboards.
Their new album Ride My Galaxy is the groups fourth release (sandwiched around two Jeb solo releases; Milltown and Bury Me In A Lonely Place) and follows on the heels of 2020’s ordinary folks and 2018’s texas, etc…, all of which have charted on the Euro Americana charts.
Biography:
A prolific songwriter, Jeb Barry has written over 4500 songs that roam through all styles of music. His more recent songs have been compared to Steve Earle, Jason Isbell and Townes Van Zandt, ….sparse, weary songs of the darker side of life. Americana at its simplest, and finest. In 2014 Jeb signed his first publishing contract with Washington Street Publishing in Nashville after two years of pitching songs. Since then he had over twenty songs added to his publishing tally.
Jeb is a regular performer in Nashville, especially at the Bluebird Café. He and the Saints have also performed at Club Passim, the Hudson Music Fest, Chesterwood Americana Fest, Club Helsinki, and are repeat performers at the Freshgrass Music Festival each fall…just to name a few…
