  • Rik Barron is an award winning recording artist and multi-instrumentalist. His rich baritone vocals perfectly compliment his extensive repertoire of traditional folk songs and sea shanties, along with a variety of great original songs written by some of east coast Canada's finest songwriters, including Cape Breton Island's, Duncan Wells and Newfoundland's Trad/Rock pioneer, Dave Panting.

    Rik is a folk festival veteran whose unique guitar and banjo styles have caught the attention of audience members and music critics alike. As a teenager he was named best instrumentalist by the Newfoundland Folk Artist Association, and his kid friendly tunes earned him a East Coast Music Award in the year 2000. He has been a faculty member at the Maryland Banjo Academy, the Smoky Mountain Banjo Academy and has been featured on the cover on the Banjo Newsletter.

    Rik has toured throughout Canada, the United States and Europe. His music is made available at his live performances, or online at
