Multi-instrumentalist songwriter Joey Barro, aka The Traditionist, has released his debut, Season to Season . The album was brought about over a period of greater than a year with the collaboration of long time friend and producer Tim Bluhm (Mother Hips). Season to Season consists of twelve examples of fine earthly and honest songcraft with aptly conducive production. audio: I Know My Ocean Sleep Be Told Driftwood Doll [...]
We've got a great mix of new music to share with you today, so I'm just going to jump right into it… Joey Barro is The Traditionist, and he just released his debut record, Season to Season, on Tuesday. I haven't had a chance to spin the entire record yet, but so far I like what I hear. While his influences are clear in his music (Van Morrison, Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan), Barro doesn't set out to replicate the originals, but to acknowledge and update them. Season to Season was created with the collaboration of long [...]

The Traditionist is Joey Barro and whoever can make it out to play that night... Growing up amongst a family of musicians, singer and guitarist Joey Barro immediately found a connection with the songs he heard when the sun went down and the guitars came out at family get-togethers. Van Morrison, Simon & Garfunkel and lots of Dylan could often be heard with a low hum emitting out from the walls of the Barro house. As he grew, his love of music and the classics only got stronger and his taste developed with the years. While his [...]

![Joey Barro of The Antiques emerges as The Traditionist, Season To Season [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1583467_lg.jpg)
The Traditionist is contrarian. The man behind the moniker is actually Joey Barro of the Antiques and, for those that unfamiliar with their lazy California alt-country sound, The Traditionist is not nearly as...traditional. On Season To Season , Barro stretches his legs to find new sounds and the result is a deeply personal album. If you haven't been following HearYa since April of 2007 (that's 99% of you), you probably didn't see our very first live session recorded in San Francisco with Joey Barro at Michael Winger's studio . Prior to the session, I [...]

I've been getting more and more submissions from bands, labels and publicists lately, and I thought that rather than continuing to write a big post on the rare things I immediately fall in love with and nothing on the rest, I'd start featuring more of the stuff that I like at first listen and don't necessarily get back to right away.* * *So I'll start off with a SXSW notice from Minty Fresh
One from the inbox, this; and I won't pretend to have played the whole album; but if the three tracks below are at all representative - it must be worth a punt. The Traditionist is Joey Barro of The Antiques , and the twelve songs on 'Season To Season" were originally intended for them - indeed, The Antiques recorded 'Driftwood Doll', my favourite of those below, for a Daytrotter Session way back in 2007. A long time in the making then... hence the title, perhaps?; well worth the wait from what I've [...]

Stay quiet for a minute. And look each other in the eyes without blinking.Listen :: The Traditionalist - "Driftwood Doll"
Who : The Traditionalist from Huntington Beach, California. What : Songs sprung from late night jam sessions between Joey Barro and his revolving door of musical friends. His first album under the name The Traditionalist ( Season To Season ) comes out March 10th on Better Looking Records , expect more albums this year. The song below works for me. And unlike these , there's more than just the four-chord formula. Song : A Sleep Be Told .
the traditionist ist joey barro. was erwartet man von einem, der sich so nennt? vocals, guitar, harmonica? genau. nicht mehr. nicht weniger. wenn er damit vernünftig umgehen kann, kann so einiges positive dabei herauskommen. haben vor ihm schon etliche bewiesen. einer fing mit bob an und hörte mit zimmer..., ähm dylan auf. the antiques waren seine band, auf solopfaden bewegt er sich seit die kapelle zu experimenten neigte. da ist er etwas gediegener. über ein jahr arbeitete barro an den zwölf songs seines debutalbum "season to season". kein übermäßiges sentiment, gekonnt hält [...]
You Should Know Singer/guitarist Joey Barro is The Traditionist. The material on his upcoming album Season To Season , which is set for release on March 3rd via Better Looking Records (home of The Album Leaf), was originally meant for his band The Antiques, but the project took on a life of its own. Recorded over the course of more than a year, the fittingly titled Season To Season enlists the production expertise of fellow musician, friend, and touring companion Tim Bluhm. Barro, who grew [...]
"I Know My Ocean" - the Traditionist Guitar, bass, small drum kit, a harmonica flourish or two, an amiably insistent melody, a one-line chorus--turns out you don't need that much to make an effective and affecting song. Well, okay, there's also a banjo. Slide guitar too. And that droning sound beneath the mix pretty much the entire time. And those great lyrics, blending a stream-of-consciousness feeling with some startlingly focused observations. What Joey Barro, in fact, has put together, hiding behind a name that looks like a [...]

Here's one that's been hiding right under my nose, Joey Barro, aka The Traditionist, a gentle-voiced crooner chronicling the details of his life through song. The liberal harmonica and slide guitar on "I Know My Ocean" makes it sound as if Barro's an Austin 6th Street local and when he sings about the "sting of pine needles" on "Driftwood Doll" you imagine he's recording in some cabin deep in Montana's mountains. These assumptions would be wrong. Barro could be found guilty by association associating sonically with such surf-folk artists as Matt Costa or Neil Halstead. The loose and bouncy "A [...]
