Artist History I began playing guitar at age 16 and immediately focused on songwriting for the Original Rock bands I played with throughought the late 80’s and early 90’s. In 1995 I decided to concentrate my efforts on my rejuvenated passion for instrumental music. I divided my time between my love of songwriting and my passion for engineering and audio production; The album “On the Inside” was born. The CD was recorded in its entirety at my project studio in Austin, Texas. My band, "The Jon Barry Project" currently have a new CD entitled FRIENDS LIKE THESE. please visit the JBP page for more info.
