Barney Bentall
Known for his intimate, warm and entertaining performances, an evening with Barney Bentall makes for a truly fine audience experience. In his writing,his latest recordings, and in performance, Barney opens a window on the life of one of Canada’s finest singer/songwriters, giving listeners a glimpse of where life as taken him these past few years.
Hits like Something To Live For and Come Back to Me, from his Legendary Hearts days, now share the stage and the radio airwaves with Hold My Heart, Sending Out A Message, and the ever-so-gentle country/swing tune, I Never Meant To Make You Cry.
Barney has recently been in the studio to record his latest collection of tunes. The recording is due for release in fall 2012. His 2009 release of the Inside Passage resonated with listeners throughout Canada and the UK.
Barney currently tours solo, duo or in a quartet format, with the Grand Cariboo Opry, BTU (with Tom Taylor and Shari Ulrich), and occasionally with the Legendary Hearts.
“Barney Bentall has reinvented himself in the last decade. He delivers what is his artistic apex to date in the brand new (CD)...The Inside Passage is, in short, the work of a Canadian music veteran who has become a world-class songwriter and troubadour in his neat return over the past half decade.”
