Barbaro

Barbaro’s music is both lively and intimate, perfect for twirling around the dance floor or cooking with someone you love. The Minneapolis-based rising stars have created their eclectic sound through original songwriting craft, with inspiration derived from bluegrass, jazz and chamber music. Barbaro’s musical vision explores their collective life experiences through intricate instrumentation, creatively bending traditional music into a style that is all their own.

The songs in their Dressed in Roses album, released January 2020, showcase Barbaro’s spirit of fearless exploration through layered musical textures that continually reimagine the Americana and bluegrass experience. Barbaro quartet members are Cedarburg native Kyle Shelstad (vocals and guitar), Rachel Calvert (vocals and fiddle), Jason Wells (vocals and bass), and Isaac Sammis (banjo).
