| About Jai Michael Barry |
Born in 1961, Jai spent the first 14 years of his life in the deverse terrain of Northwestern Oregon...skateboards, skis, and dirtbikes were the staples of he and his close friends. He got his first guitar at age 6... a 3/4 scale student acoustic model, and remembers immediately fashioning knobs of nickle-sized round scraps of paper...glueing them to the instrument's top, hoping to get that vintage John Lennon sound of the time. Little did he know that the classic beatnik acoustic vibe of the 60's and 70's would provide for the bulk of his contemporary folk inspiration today.
A vagabond by nature, Jai spent many of his teen years backpacking the countryside...from Florida, to Connecticut, to California, to Canada...ocean to ocean, border to border... and all points betwixt & between. Diverse climates, land/seascapes, cultures, philosophies, and attitudes helped Michael learn to appreciate and cultivate his natural ability to co-exist and co-create with those from many walks of life...vital lessons learned and passed to his own brilliant and beautiful children... Dustin 23, and Carly 20, who are the inspiration of much of his lyrical content.
His CD's, Back to My Self, Travel and Transformation, and Agape' Project contain a wide variety of musical syles and vibrations... Americana, ethereal, ambient, trance, Native American, progressive folk, folk ballads, and contemporary fusion culminate to draw the listener into spaces of release, abundance, gratitude, and inspiration. Jai's music has won several awards, including Songwriter's Showcases of America Creative Writer of the Year; Most Emotional Song, as well as many International Songwriter's Guild achivement awards.
Jai has provided musical performance and inspiration for several retreats and workshops including James Redfield's opening of Celestine Prophecy~The Movie, Carolyn Howe's "Acceptance, The Key To Transformation", and has for the last several years traveled to various Unity, Unitarian, and Science of Mind churches throughout the Southeast with songs and stories of spirit, experience, courage, faith, and inspiration.
Jai's musical style has been defined as "resonant, sonorous, radiant, mesmerizing, and captivating"; "Michael's messages run pure and deep...compelling & powerful"; "Michael does what he loves, but for him it's not about what he's doing...it's about who he's being."
