Live at the Dahl: Jason Dea West & the Barn Swallows

Live at the Dahl Arts Center on June 20, 2023 7PM! This will be an evening of musical artistry you will never forget! Blending the talents of Jason Dea West and The Barn Swallows, these artists will hold you captivated by their tight vocal and instrumental harmonies and insightful lyrics and haunt you in ways that only folk music can.

Jason Dea West:

American poet, songwriter and troubadour (Folk, country, western, traditional and alternative)

Jason Dea West is an American troubadour who sings what he lives and lives what he sings. Wests’ poignant lyrics are brilliantly blended with vintage country, folk and blues, and timely sensibilities. From epic guitar and harmonica instrumentals to humorous song as story, Jason never strays very far from the anarchic punk-folk roots of his beloved former band Barefoot Surrender and his celebrated current band Intuitive Compass.

Jason’s younger days as a busker and freight train hopper fostered his keen sense of road-inspired American musical history. Jason toured extensively with guest musicians and bands throughout the lower 48 States and Alaska, appearing in barn dances and taverns, theaters and music festivals, the circus and vaudeville circuits, on radio and in film.

The Barn Swallows:

Three Female Writers who enjoy Tea, Cake and Murder Ballads have conspired to enjoy these things together. Offering authentic original auditory experiences and visually stimulating scenes whilst harmonizing and playing a combination of American folk and eastern European noises together. The Barn Swallows can be found wherever barns can be swallowed.
