Barry Sulkin is a musician living in Nashville, Tennessee and is one half
of Magnatune artist Heavy Mellow. On this solo effort, he continues in a similar
style of acoustic instrumental compositions centered around fingerstyle guitar
played with natural fingernails, and is accompanied by guest musicians on
various tracks. His music creates atmospheres that are relaxing, melodic,
meditative, reflective, and lively.
Originally from Memphis, he began playing fingerstyle guitar while attending
college in Virginia, and progressed to exploring alternate tunings, lead, and
various types of guitars and other string instruments. Guitars used for this
project are six-string classical and steel, and twelve-string, sometimes in
standard tuning, and sometime in common alternatives of drop D and open D. Also
used are some lesser known tunings picked up from others along the way, that he
refers to as raised C, aerial C, and double drop C.
Some of these songs tell a story without words, some capture the essence of a
place or time, while others are simply melodies offered to relax the mind and
space around the listener.
