The Barlow

From: Arvada | Currently: Arvada, Colorado

Red Dirt

The Barlow is a four-piece band from Arvada, Colorado, brewing their own mountain-high version of Colorado Country since 2017. Founded by frontman Shea Boynton, who works in the oil fields, the band features Ben Richter on drums, Brad Johnson on lead guitar, and Jason Berner on bass. They combine Red Dirt, Americana, outlaw country, and guitar-heavy Southern rock into songs as rugged as their Denver home. Known for being "very country on the record, but a rock and roll band live," they bring authentic working-class experiences to their music.
