Barry Walker Jr.

Barry Walker Jr. is a multifaceted musician, known for his immersive blend of instrumental storytelling and his prowess with the pedal steel guitar. With a penchant for crafting atmospheric soundscapes that push the boundaries of traditional country and American folk music, Walker's work often bridges the divide between the old and the new, infusing his compositions with psychedelic layers and experimental twists. The release of his self-titled album, "Barry Walker Jr.," serves as both a personal statement and an exploration of his varied musical influences, showcasing his ability to weave together different genres into a cohesive tapestry of sound.

His subsequent albums, "Shoulda Zenith" and "Diaspora Urkontinent," continue to expand upon his musical vocabulary. "Shoulda Zenith" is marked by its enigmatic title and its exploration of the zenith one should or could reach, playing with expectations and the narrative journey of the instrumental pieces. "Diaspora Urkontinent" further demonstrates Walker's eclectic approach, delving into themes of origin and dispersion, and how they relate to musical genres and cultural identities. Both works have cemented Barry Walker Jr.'s reputation as a sonic auteur, unafraid to journey through uncharted territories of his genre-defying musical landscapes.
