Jennifer Barger live from the ”Bird’s Nest”

Ever since she was a toddler, Jennifer sang and danced around the house with her siblings daily. Her mom says "she sang before she talked and danced before she walked".  There has always been a spark and love for music in her heart.  Now, being able to learn piano, guitar and ukulele, and learn how to use her voice, she has been writing more original music for her solo gig as Jennifer Barger (@jenniferbargermusic)!
 
In 2016 she and her sister competed in a local GA competition at which the sister duo "Jenny & Sky" was born. They made it to the finals at the Madlife Stage & Studios "Undiscovered Artists Showcase" (2016-2017), and through that met some amazing people and musicians!  Jenny & Sky performed locally in North GA/Atl area from 2016 till spring 2019 and recorded an EP ("Nonsense" by Jenny & Sky) and were honored to work with amazing artists such as Kate Coleman, Highbeams, and opened for Irish singer-songwriter Keith Harkin.  Since May 2019 (after Sky's wedding and move over seas), Jennifer has performed solo and has continued collaborating and working with talented local artists such as Jonathan Peyton, Danny Brewer, again with Kate Coleman and Highbeams, and others!
 
Now, fall 2019, she is in the studio recording a lullaby album, and also hosting a new video series called "The Tiny House Sessions" (@thetinyhousesessions) which is an opportunity for local artists to work on music collaborations and share their original music and upcoming projects with the world! 
The road has seemed uncertain at times, but with God's help and the encouragement of her family and friends, she is ready to share the true love, joy and passion she has for music with others.  Thank you for joining her journey!  Hope you enjoy the ride.

The Bluebird Two live from the Oakhouse in Canton Ga

Songs and story very often go hand in hand. Just as a good book transports its reader to another place, a great song will bring the listener in and make them a part of the picture being painted. For Lindsey and Seth, aka The Bluebird Two, music is the very foundation of their personal love story. After connecting through Seth's solo music projects, the two bluebirds now create folk-like tales with themes on life, love, loss, and the mystery of what's next.
"Musically, I'd think of us as sort of DIY-Folk-Nugrass-Punk-Acoustic Rock...basically whatever we feel like being at the time." says Seth, who plays acoustic guitar and a homemade kickdrum/suitcase. His raspy, raw vocals combine with Lindsey's smooth, silky sweet melodies to create a refreshing balance.
The bluebirds seem to find their niche in the odd, crafted, and organic, and hope that you will raise your voice to join in their song
