Rik Barron  is a rare and engaging artist. His rich baritone vocals compliment his extensive repertoire of folk songs and seashanties. He is a veteran whose unique vocal, guitar and banjo styles have caught the attention of audience members and critics alike. He was  once named Best Instrumentalist by the Newfoundland Folk Arts Council, nominated for Traditional Singer of the Year by the Canadian Folk Music Awards and has won three East Coast Music Awards for his Children's Music.  A jack of all trades and a rare master of them too.

 

Quotes

Shine is a great CD, not only because of the wonderful vocals, but because of the thoughtfully and carefully arranged instrumentals. The production is excellent and the material is top notch ~ Dan MacDonald, Cape Breton Post

We're listening to Shine.  And we love it.  It's full of heart and great music.  This is as much adult music as children's--it's
for humans, period.  And we can tell we will be playing this many, many times.   Well done.
