Growling bass tones, kinetic persona and soulful vocals — over five decades of rock and roll, currently anchoring the low end of .38 Special.

With his growling bass tones, kinetic persona and soulful vocals, Barry brings an undeniable amount of talent & experience to every stage.


Barry is previously best known for his work with Swedish heavy-metal guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen. In the late 1980s and early '90s, Barry performed on nine of Malmsteen's albums — two of which earned gold status in Japan, Facing the Animal and Alchemy — and toured the world with him four times.
Other notable bands over the years include .38 Special, Survivor, The Pat Travers Band, Joe Lynn Turner Band, Saraya, Riggs and Whiteface. Barry has also been a prominent member of the Voices of Classic Rock band and the Rock & Pop Masters band — collaborations of many rock legends.
Through friendships with his fellow musicians, Barry is also a proud member of the American Airlines All-Star Band, which benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
During Barry's 52+ professional years he has had the pleasure of performing, touring and recording with over 100 prominent and legendary musicians, many of them Grammy winners. While not on tour, Barry produces recording projects in his home studio, Cave Canem, in St. Augustine, Florida.
