About Me


Looking back while going further, this is what the No Barbers Required are all about. Heavily grounded in the honky tonk tradition set forward by the late great Hank Williams, the band brings a modern twist to western music. Taking in from their different musical backgrounds, members bring their own personality to the music. Incorporating the rawness of punk music to country, the result is high on energy. Both in the songs and on stage.Out on record soon; until then, don’t miss their live show… nobody does country like them. Filled with catchy hooks, great leads and vocal harmonies, the songs are fast-paced and they will make you stand up to dance. The ballads are scorching and will bring tear to your eyes.
