Throughout more than a decade of performing together, The Barrel Boys’ bluegrass Christmas concert has been an important part of their Christmas season. Even while unable to perform live during the Covid-19 Pandemic, the band pulled together to create 2020’s “The Barrel Boys’ Christmas Special” and the 2021 follow-up “The Barrel Boys’ Christmas Special Vol. II, A Christmas Barrel” (both on YouTube). These 30-minute old-fashioned TV-style specials showcased the Boys’ charming wit and creativity as well as bass player Tim O’Reilly’s audio-visual production talents.
Now that The Barrel Boys are back to performing live during the holidays, the same mix of musical prowess and light-hearted stage presence is central to their festive shows, called “Carols from the Barrel.”
This Christmas, The Barrel Boys invite music fans of all ages to celebrate the holidays with an unforgettable evening that has brought audiences back year after year.
