Wilkinson James & Barrel Flash

About

Wilkinson James has been on the Twin Cities music scene since 2008, when Liz Wilkinson and AJ Scheiber blended their singing and songwriting into a style that one fan described as “the bastard offspring of June Carter Cash and Townes Van Zandt.” Over the years the duo of Liz and AJ has evolved into a full band, adding touches of jazz, torch, and swing to their base of honky-tonk, folk, and blues. Barrel Flash is a Saint Paul-based trio inspired by the folk traditions of the US, UK, and Ireland initially formed through collaborations in the vigorous music and club/taproom scene in the Twin Cities. Each member brings a unique collection of musical influences to their original songs and to their new interpretations of beloved “classics.” Their first album A Guide to Dancing Alone is available on all streaming platforms. Join these two great bands for an afternoon of musical fun, friendship, and maybe a little rug-cuttin’!
