BARLEY STATION-A Band Whose Music Combines The Roots Of Americana, Pop/Rock, Country, And Folk

BARLEY STATION has become a top Indie recording artist scoring #1 and top 10 songs on a myriad of charts, both indie and mainstream in the US such as FMQB, New Music Weekly, National Radio Hits, The Independent Music Network and overseas on the European Indie Charts with songs that cross into multiple genres.  It is about making music for the  love of art in musical form. 

The mellifluous sounds of Barley Station can be detected not only in their intricately written lyrics,
 but also in their sound  with layers of real, organic harmonies, driving rhythms, and contagious melodies.
 Although the band pulls a distinctive  Alternative vibe, in terms of genre, most reviewers, fans, and radio claim that the Barley Station signature is a genre crossover blend of Americana, Country, Pop, Folk, and even Rock/Alternative which is authentic and original.

The band’s founder and frontman, Randy Wayne Belt, cultivated his artistic edge through Musical Theater and Acting. Randy has also picked up the pen, not only as a songwriter, but also as a Music Journalist and is also, contributing writer for Starlight Music Chronicles Magazine. His work has also been published in American Pride Magazine, Indie Habit, and A.V.A. Live Radio.

 Press Quotes

“This group always brings top drawer tunage”

– Music Is Truth (Station), Indie Music People

“Barley Station is a rare breed of band that successfully combines all of your favorite genres into a unique sound of their own.”

– Jan Ostegard, Entertainment Vine 

“Rootsy alternative country at its best… ‘I Found You’ will find itself at home in any country music fan’s collection.”

– Eric De Fontenay, Music Dish Journal

“They blend alternative country and rootsy folk-rock into a style that has all the pop appeal of the classic Jayhawks records, but remains earthy and resolutely unpolished. It’s a win / win for me, and I’m sure they’d appeal to both No Depression readers and fans of first generation country rock”

– Leicester Bangs (UK)

“Barley Station has an addictive “twang” about their music that, honestly, I never knew I liked. In fact, I had to make a new category in the Genre section for Country just for them.”

-Marsbands.com

“this group is not one to get labeled into one specific genre of music. I say kudos to them for branching out and making music they want to make.”

– Maxim Daniels, IT’s All About That Music

“it’s clear that this is a band that is going in a consistent, forward direction and show no signs of stopping.  “Double Star” is brilliant in its Immaculate Conception, composition, and imagery that is evoked when listening but it is also just a small piece of the pie when you consider the capacity and the quality of music that the band has already produced and recorded.”

-CA Marshall in Starlight Music Chronicles Magazine
