Orange City Public Library is pleased to welcome acclaimed Celtic fingerstyle guitarist Jerry Barlow. The concert will be held on Thursday, July 12 at 6:30 p.m. at the Orange City Library.

Barlow is a warm, accessible performer and storyteller. His unique and skillfully delivered repertoire incorporates favorite traditional pieces as well as his own Celtic-inspired compositions. His arrangements of jigs, reels and haunting airs are described as “music to soothe the soul, warm the heart and lift the spirit.”

In concert, Jerry brings traditional Celtic tunes alive by sharing the history, humor, and legends behind the music. “Jerry Barlow … is skilled, funny and riveting. The majority of musicians are skilled in either performing or in entertaining an audience. It’s rare and enjoyable to see a musician at the very top in both areas,” says Scott Beach, Director of Colorado Celtic Entertainment.

Barlow has been featured in Fingerstyle Guitar magazine, and was profiled in Celtic Connection. He has performed in the Gates Auditorium for the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music, the Arvada Center for the Performing Arts, and is a favorite of High Plains Public Radio’s Living Room Concert Series in Amarillo, TX.
