About Me

The Just Barelys began in 2000 as a recording project by Stephen Kelly. For the self titled debut Kelly invited a host of collaborators to contribute to individual recorded songs. The resulting record was well received, reaching ..20 on Chartattack and ..23 on the Earshot (Campus/Community Radio) national charts. In 2005 Stephen paired with Eleanor King and recorded a new EP titled 'Top'. The songs are simple yet musically peculiar. King plays drums, keyboards, and sings harmonies while Kelly plays banjo, guitars, accordion, air-organ, and a variety of original/home-made acoustic and electronic musical instruments. For the better part of 2006 the two were joined by multi-instrumentalist Stephen Evans for a collection of first-time-ever live Just Barelys performances.
