Barrage, the musical group bringing a new sense of inspiration to the world one note at a time.

LOGAN, Utah-Barrage is traveling throughout the country sharing their musical talents with the world. They are a group of musicians that have come together from all over the world to bring a new style of sound to people.

Barrage was created in Calgary, Canada in 1996. As the years have come and gone different cast members have been added to the group and others have left to go onto other things. Barrage combines a bunch of musical numbers together and brings music from all over the world to one stage. The cast of Barrage includes six violinist/vocalist, one drummer, one bass player and a guitarist. It takes so much time and energy to bring this musical group together and make things happen.

“High Strung” is the name of the tour for this coming year as they prepare to tour the world. Each cast member brings a different style to the table and is able to bring fireworks to the stage when combined with all of the cast members.

“Each of the players has a different style and character that added to the group that helped the music come alive and reached out to me,” said Natalie Jones.

The tour began on Feb. 15 in Tallahassee, Fla. and will continue to tour until May 8 2008. They will be visiting stages all over the country. This amazing group will complete over 20 performances in the USA, Europe, Asia and Canada. For specific dates and cities check out the website.

The songs played by the entertainers come from different musicians from all over the world. There are chines folk tunes, American blue grass music and Acadian Fiddle tunes.

“I loved the music and the feelings I felt as I listened to the concert. It made me feel as if I had visited different parts of the world and I didn’t even leave the small town of Logan,” said Lisa Christensen.
