Barbaro - Band Tickets

Barbaro is a vivid, harmony-driven Americana-folk band built around the songwriting of Kyle Shelstad, with Rachel Calvert on fiddle and vocals and Jason Wells on bass and vocals. The band began with early sessions featuring Isaac Sammis on banjo, contributing to a distinctly roots-forward sound that has evolved into a modern, engaging live experience. Barbaro has earned recognition across the folk and bluegrass communities, including appointments as an Official Showcase Artist for Americanafest and IBMA, along with the U.S. Department of State’s American Music Abroad program.
