Music

Barbara flirts with her sassy, sultry side through her music.  Her style, a simmering
blend of original blues, country, jazz, and folk rock, is evidenced in her debut album,
Ample Patience. Her music radiates the confidence of a strong woman and the
passion of a born storyteller.

Barbara performs solo and with her band and is a member of ASCAP and NSAI, (Nashville Songwriters Association International).

“Barbara Garriel possesses a voice that is as rich and sensuous as red velvet.”

K. Moran, singer-songwriter, Ct

Ample Patience

Barbara’s debut CD features her original, inviting melodies and colorful lyrics.  Barbara plays guitar and sings lead and harmony vocals. The album is an independently released blend of blues, country, and folk-rock, with a flavoring of jazz and sensitive ballads.  Saucy and smooth, Ample Patience speaks to anyone with a zest for life!

Multi-instrumentalist, producer, and award winning singer-songwriter,
Tom Prasada-Rao, and award winning producer, Steve Young, collaborated with Barbara on Ample Patience.

Jeffery Barnes, member of the Grammy Award winning band Brave Combo shared his talents on clarinet, sax, harmonica, and flute. Singer-songwriter, Cary Cooper, added harmony on “Lock, Stock, and Barrel”.

“Too Late For That Now” (track 4) was a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in the R&B division.

Some things folks are saying about Ample Patience:

“Barbara Garriel’s CD is very intimate and personal sounding, sassy and assured.  A bluesy, rootsy orientation is enhanced by the beautiful and sensitive production by Tom Prasada-Rao and Steve Young, well-known names in the singer-songwriter world. They have captured Barbara’s unpretentious, warm voice perfectly. A good listen.”

-Kenny Edwards, Musician, Singer-Songwriter & Producer
