Barker & Genfan
- Transatlantic artists are not often to be found. In the case of Sally Barker, from Great Britain and Vicki Genfan, from North Carolina, this is well beyond a blended duo. Sally and Vicki brought decades of international solo acclaim to live music before they came together over 20 years ago, as Barker and Genfan.
- After years of touring together mostly in Europe and the UK, they planted themselves at Pilot Mountain, North Carolina. From that base camp, they now tour the world together. Their 2017 debut album ‘In The Shadow of a Small Mountain’ is a collection of original songs inspired by their home in the Carolina’s.
- Vicki was the 1st and only woman to garner the title of Guitar Player Magazine’s ‘Guitar Superstar’ while Sally was the ‘Tom Jones' finalist in 2014 UK edition of The Voice. Throughout their careers Sally and Vicki have worked with artists as diverse as Bob Dylan, Robert Plant and Jennifer Batten, among many others.
- After over 20 years planted in Europe touring together, Vicki and Sally now remain focused on concerts and festivals throughout the USA. While they have performed in San Luis Obispo before, this is their first visit to Música Del Río. We are glad they are joining us on Saturday, May 24. Please join us too.
