Barry Adkins

I grew up on the rock songs of my parents, which filled car rides with tunes by The Eagles, Bob Seger, and Fleetwood Mac. Later, my school friends helped me broaden my scope a little more, introducing me to heavy metal and the wondrous songs of Metallica, Megadeth, and the like. Since then I've taken a liking to bluegrass music, which I'm still getting used to, and finding that I really love the mandolin. Connect with Barry on: Google+ | Facebook | Twitter
