Barrett Davis

Performance Anxiety

Barrett Davis has just released his debut album. It’s been a long time in the making. In fact, he started one of the songs over 10 years ago. But that’s not to say he hasn’t been busy. That’s actually why it’s taken so long for it’s release. Music has always been a huge part of his life. His dad is a blues guitarist who’s played with Marshall Tucker and Jeannie C. Reilly (which should be a podcast unto itself).His mom is a singer who helped train his sister, who now sings opera in Amsterdam. Barrett was playing with his dad as well as his own band,The Foxfire for years when he decided to step away and take a break. But he had met his wife, started a family and needed to give them time. He focused on construction and building a business in North Carolina, where he grew up. And when he decided the time was right, he took his time, incorporated everything he could from his favorite artists and the surrounding Appalachian music and has released The Ballad of Aesop Fin. There’s a story behind everything with the album. That extends to the album title as well as the album length! Nothing is left to chance, here. Barrett has a deep connection to this music, to Appalachia, and surprisingly, gouda cheese. We recorded this right around the time of the World Cup and college football playoffs, so we even venture into sports just a bit.
