The Barrow Gang

The Barrow Gang, originally an all-acoustic busking band, is a 5 -  6 piece rotating cast of Barrow Gang characters. Punctuated by their stage antics, they play a rockabilly mix of toe-tappin' tunes including original songs written by George Stryker. George, known for the best pompadour in Ottawa, is a long-time Rockabilly singer/songwriting performer and fronts the group as Clyde Barrow. He began his career over 50 years ago fronting several Rockabilly ensembles who opened for acts such as the Stray Cats, Meatloaf, Rosanne Cash to name a few. The remaining Graffs and quipsters, Chuck (KCS MB Breeze), Baby (Cyndi Kennedy), Buckles (Ken Hatcher), Eddie (John Cormier), Austin (Ray Harris), and Sparky (David Bignell), are notable long-time musicians from all walks of life with a passion for energetic and entertaining fun.
