Barry David Homan was born in Far Rockaway, New York in 1954. His brother Bobby gave him his first guitar at age 8 and taught him how to play, listen and sing harmony. Barry was fronting his first band at the age of 12. His musical influences stretch wide and varied from blues, rock’n’roll, R&B, jazz, bluegrass, folk and country. But the Blues captured his soul early on and was the essence of all his music. His career began when his family moved to Phoenix in 1970, making a name for himself at the local clubs. He moved to England in 2001 and performed throughout the UK. Barry had just finished mixing the tracks for his CD Tribute to SRVaughan when he passed in Norwich (Norfolk) in April, 2005. ‘With Pride and Joy’ was released in October, 2005.
