Tim Barry in Richmond

Tim Barry is an American singer-songwriter and musician based in Richmond, Virginia. He fronts the punk band Avail, played bass in the folk-punk group (Young) Pioneers, and has pursued acoustic, country-influenced folk music as a solo artist since 2004. His solo releases include Rivanna Junction, Manchester, 28th & Stonewall, Lost & Rootless and High on 95; Rivanna Junction draws directly on his life in the city and time beside the James River. Avail toured internationally and released six studio albums during Tim Barry’s time as frontman. His subsequent solo performances brought that writing into an acoustic format, and Raising Hell & Living Cheap documents one such concert. He also joined the acoustic Revival Tour with Chuck Ragan, Ben Nichols and Frank Turner.
