Profile Information

I am the following; a: Musician

Style of Prog: Progressive Rock

Biography: David Barrett Trio

Borne from the mind of guitarist / composer David Barrett and at the behest of friend, mentor and Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson, The David Barrett Trio was formed in the early summer of 2010.

Drawing from a catalog of well over 40 new compositions intended for the trio - including bassist Jason Farrar and percussionist Sascha Tukatsch, they began fleshing out the music for an instrumental post-rock trio in July 2010.

Demoing and tweaking the material throughout the summer and early fall of 2010 led to an invitation to debut the work in progress at Toronto's Gibson Guitar Artist Showroom. The trio used this invitation as a milestone in their preparation for the eventual recordings. The October 7th date was captured for posterity and as part of the ongoing R&D process the group had adopted as their M.O. from day one. Some of these early performances can be found on YouTube.

During a brief touring, acting (yes, Alex plays a Scottish doctor in the sequel to the smash hit Trainspotting) and writing hiatus, producer Alex Lifeson scheduled the first of several intended recording sessions in early December of 2010. Manning the console for these sessions would be renown recording and mix engineer Richard Chycki ( Rush, Aerosmith, Mick Jagger ). Three songs were mixed from the first sessions - the aggressive Hollowbody Hollowbody - Single - David Barrett Trio , the multi-dimensional Sonar, and the melancholy Disappearance.

The David Barrett Trio have recently completed video production for a live off-the-floor shoot to promote local boutique equipment manufacturers Mac Amps and Dagmar Guitars. As a result of their efforts, David has become a Mac Amp Endorsing Artist. A photo session with Hot House Creative photographer Paul Reid has produced the Yousuf Karsh influenced images that effectively portray the trio and their unique style.

The members of the The David Barrett Trio have a well established history and a portfolio of national and international touring and recording - experiences that translate well both on and off stage, camera, radio and television

Influences or Favorite Bands: Rush, Yes,
