“David Barrett is the leader of DB3, an instrumental band. Making a success out of an instrumental group is not easy, but David has a knack of writing very memorable progressive rock tunes. He is also blessed with the ability to deliver these tunes in a unique way using his collection of electric and acoustic instruments. Couple this with an impressive collection of amps & effects David manages to colour and texture his compositions with lasting impact. David is a rare combination of imagination, dedication and raw talent.” – Terry Brown, producer.
David Barrett Trio began in 2010. Produced by Terry Brown, Richard Chycki, Alex Lifeson, and Alan Parsons, they’ve also collaborated with renowned Saga vocalist Michael Sadler and the Juno Award winning duo Crown Lands. DB3 opened for Carl Palmer in Toronto, shared the stage with Adrian Belew at NAMM, guested at The Marillion Weekend in Montreal, and headlined the Canadian Guitar Festival. DB3 is now rocking with Paul DeLong on drums and Scott Matthews on bass.
DB has many solo albums featuring acoustic, electric, classical, mandolin, laud, and steel guitar and performs solo concerts and conducts guitar retreats in Canada and Mexico. DB is an endorsing artist for innovative companies such as D’Angelico Guitars, Pigtronix Effects, Mack Amplifiers, and D’Addario Strings and he’s been featured in international magazines including Guitar Player, Premier Guitar, and Vintage Guitar.
