Jock Barnes

Jock Barnes writes his own songs and plays them live, pulling from blues, rock and pop and putting a fresh angle on each. He's a working musician who has played to audiences in many countries, and he's shared festival bills with De La Soul, The Darkness, Everything Everything and Groove Armada. The lyrics carry a lot of the weight, so his sets suit a room where people will stop and listen, like a bar gig, a festival stage or a relaxed afternoon party. Home is Ballina in New South Wales.
