Beaujolais gigs

BEAUJOLAIS

Beaujolais takes its name from the saucy French harvest wine that is synonymous with spontaneous celebration. (and yes, sometimes spontaneous combustion as well!) The Band is comprised of old friends (and new friends who feel like old friends) who share a deep passion for its rootsy style of music. With their soaring harmonies and eclectic repertoire ranging from original material to folk to standards, this is a group that you simply don't want to miss!

So let us introduce you to the band...

If you've watched the music scene for a while, you'll know Keith Barbour (seated far right) as one of the ex-New Christy Minstrels. Keith was also the recording artist of the '60's hit "Echo Park.." His vocals will take you to another place and time! His wife, Linda Barbour is also a singer & songwriter. As well as being a pretty face (every band needs 'em!), she is also a real kick in the pants, providing strong momentum for the group. Scott Bailey of Atascadero (standing on left side) brings mischievous vocals & charm to the group with his diverse instrumental talent on mandolin, guitar, lap steel, harp, and anything else he can fit in his truck. Many locals may know him as the leader of our DAG jam nights. You know Matt Franscioni (guy in the middle) as yours truly, the guitar guy at Divine Appointment Guitars in Paso Robles. When playing with others, however, he prefers a set of brushes, cymbals, cajon, and his homemade drum box! Rick Auricchio (back right) provides the light, fleeting bass lines across wandering melodies. Rick is also a fixture in the Cambria music and theater scenes.
