From the moment she steps into the spotlight and begins picking her banjo her dads 1972 Gibson Mastertone, to be exact its undeniable that being on stage is where Lockwood Barr feels most at home. She has the goods, writes Music Row Magazine about her captivating vocals. Extremely promising.
The Tiburon, California native credits her successes thus far, which include Country Music Association Emerging Artist recognition and winning an Independent Country Music Association Award as banjo player for bluegrass group The Nashvegas Ramblers, to fearless pursuit of her passions. That, and her incredibly tight-knit musical family.
My dad always says that he knew he wanted to marry my mother when he walked into her apartment and saw a banjo sitting there, smiles Lockwood. Music is a way of life for the Barr family. With a sister who grew up singing alongside her in church choir, a mother who once shared the stage with Grammy-winner John Hartford and a cousin who is the lead man for the Celtic punk band Dropkick Murphys, this multi-instrumentalist is hard-pressed to remember a time in her youth where she wasnt around music.
While Lockwood logged over 60 show dates in 2016, her performance-packed lifestyle began long before her career in country music. Whether it was playing guitar in community productions, accompanying family sing-a-longs on piano or competing in state-wide tap dance competitions, the energetic teen quickly fell in love with being on stage. What was equally as impressive as her artistic endeavors, however, was Lockwoods intense drive to succeed, a trait surely passed down by her parents, both of whom graduated from Harvard Business School. After honing her songwriting skills in high school and frequently performing around the San Francisco bay area, Locky as her friends nicknamed her soon decided it was time to take her career to the next level, allowing her dreams to take her to Music City.
With bluegrass in her blood and determination second to none, the effervescent blonde moved to Nashville (where her mother was raised), enrolled at Vanderbilt University and dove head first into the music industry. Outside of the classroom, the Tennessee transplant spent her time relentlessly performing at local songwriter rounds, channeling her musical influences (which range from Nickel Creek and Stevie Nicks to Beethoven and the Dixie Chicks) and co-writing with fellow artists as often as possible. While preparing material for a debut project, Barr eventually caught the eye of Jen Gunderman, Sheryl Crows keyboard player. Gunderman produced Lockwoods debut album, 25th Hour, which was released at a sold out show at Historic 19 Broadway in Fairfax, California.
A few years later as she appeared at 2016s CMA Fest in her go-to Durango boots and greeted countless fans, it was made clear that Lockwoods music has earned her a nationwide following. Since the release of her first project, Lockwood has opened for artists like Tyler Hilton, Anne Hills, Wiz Khalifa and more. There is a fire in my belly that drives me to perform, she explains with conviction. I want my listeners to feel what Im feeling. Connecting with audiences is my favorite part about being an artist.
Most recently, Lockwood released a 10-song album, Signs Along the Road, in the summer of 2016, which was produced by Matt Odmark of the Grammy Award-winning Christian rock band Jars of Clay. Showcasing both Barrs eclectic writing style and technical ability as an instrumentalist, this album includes everything from infectious bluesy tracks (Starve You Out of My Heart) to folk-influenced melodies (Indian Summer) and upbeat love songs (Cant Help Lovin You). One of the songs, a heartfelt country ballad (Forgotten How to Cry), even earned her a DisCovery Award from Music Row Magazine. Behind Lockwoods refreshingly whimsical vocals is always, of course, a hearty dose of her signature banjo work. In each of my songs is a story and Im here to share my stories with the world, she says.
This Californian has crafted a unique sound that is here to stay: unapologetically bold yet playfully relatable. When it comes to emerging women in todays country music scene, it is clear that Lockwood armed with killer musicianship and a personality that shines as bright as her electrifying blue eyes is truly raising the Barr.
