Artist History Blending the sounds of traditional country music with the modern edge of alternative rock, the Barnyard Playboys is a unique band with a unique sound. Singer-Songwriter John Lyons combines the influences of country greats like George Jones, Buck Owens, and Johnny Cash with his own rock n’ roll background to deliver a long repertoire of hillbilly truck-driving songs that is sure to capture the attention of all types of music listeners. Featuring drummer Joe Baxley, bass player Adam Freeman, and of course Lyons, the Barnyard Playboys give a live performance that has proven to be not only captivating, but almost cult-like among the local New York City alternative music scene. Although they have been in New York as the Barnyard Playboys since December of 1995, they share a music history dating back to the 1980’s in Eugene, Oregon. The members are natives of Michigan, Alabama, and Los Angeles - and their music is a true fusion of each one’s personality and style. The band released its debut, self-titled CD in 1998. Their second CD, entitled "Dumbass On A Rampage", was released on indie label Rubric Records in August of 2000. Both CD's have received attention from alternative radio stations and fanzines worldwide. Several tracks from each CD are available free, here at mp3.com. The Barnyard Playboys have completed two extensive national tours, as well as many regional tours. For more information, go to www.barnyardplayboys.com.
