Tunesday: Tim Barry

We here at The Tasty Morsel have a pretty good weekend to look forward to.  This weekend one of our favorite musicians to see live is performing a couple of shows in our area, and that means we get to travel around a little bit, chow some food in a bit of a different area and have some drinks.

We have a handful of musicians that we try to see every time they are in town.  These artists are all from out of state, so we usually only get the chance to see them once or twice a year if we're lucky.

This weekend, Tim Barry will be in town.  Tim Barry is from Richmond, Virginia and is also the singer for the now-on-hiatus Avail.  We first heard about Tim's music a handful of years ago when he was opening for Drag the River.  I think at that point he was performing with Josh Small on guitar and banjo and his sister, Caitlin on fiddle.  There were a handful of songs that caught our ear and turned us into fans that night, but I think the one that really got me fired up was 'One Quick Minute'.  Really Awesome song writing.

So, this year, we'll be down in San Diego then to Long Beach to enjoy two Tim Barry shows.  It looks like he'll be playing with Austin Lucas and Josh Small, and from what I've heard is that the show will not be in sets, but will be all three artists sharing the stage on each other's songs.

Since we are going down to San Diego, this gives us the opportunity to write about a few drinking and eating establishments that we run into along the way.  So in tow with seeing Tim Barry (Alison's 'boyfriend' as she likes to call him) we also get to find a few new places to eat and drink at, then write about said eating and drinking.  How Productive.

Here's Tim Barry Performing one of my favorites:
