About The Barrel Boys

Established in 2012, The Barrel Boys is a five-piece acoustic string band based in Ontario, Canada. The band’s sound is built around rich vocal harmonies and virtuosic instrumental playing, and their unique repertoire of original material is informed by their fluency in classic bluegrass, old-time, country, and Americana. Each of the five members, Nathan Smith (fiddle); Rob McLaren (banjo); Ben Wright (guitar); Kyle Kirkpatrick (dobro); and Tim O’Reilly (bass), writes and sings their own songs, making for a wide stylistic range within the band’s sound.
