Doug Baker has known both Isabel Valls and Barry Gray for several years, and have played shows with each of them individually. This will be his first time sharing the stage with their new duo, Barry & Isabel. It'll be a great morning of songs, coffee, and air conditioning.
Barry Gray's family band, Graymatter, is a Triad and Triangle, NC favorite, performing 60s and 70s covers in four-part harmony. In 2018, Barry was awarded a North Carolina Arts Council Artist Fellowship in Songwriting, which led him to record his debut album, Footsteps.
Isabel Valls has been performing since 2010, when she began playing at area open mics. She has released two albums of her original songs under her former name, Taylor: Awake Again (2016) and Isabel Taylor (2019). Both albums secured the 15th spot on the Folk Radio chart.
Their solo albums were produced by award-winning musician Jon Shain and engineered by FJ Ventre at Good Luck Studio in Chapel Hill, NC.
And, in case you need a reminder…Doug Baker has been a fixture in the Greensboro music scene for over 40 years. His songs have described as having a "quirky, lighthearted touch reminiscent of John Prine and Loudon Wainwright III.”
