Our history

The musicians
Barrenhart’s Celtic Bluegrass combines instrumental mastery with a deep knowledge of traditional folk music. By a quirk of fate, these four musicians originating from all parts of the globe, live within ten miles of each other in rural Kentucky. Dave and Hazel began playing together in 1999 and discovered a mutual interest in old time fiddle tunes. While performing at the Glasgow Highland Games in 2010, they met Greg and the seeds of Barrenhart began to take shape with a performance at the International Newgrass Festival. Masako’s bluegrass fiddling added the missing element that gives Barrenhart its unique, distinctive sound.
