Walter DeBarr

A black man raised in predominantly white rural Appalachia, Walter DeBarr is not a man who has ever played by the rules. But when he plays, everyone listening wants to join him. His music, colored by early punk influences and his grandmother’s gospel music, and washed in years of whiskey, cigarettes, and rough living, carries listeners along on his journey to redemption and love. Walter’s music reaches into the dark, lonely places of his listeners’ hearts and carries them gently back out again to the light. It is hauntingly familiar to anyone who has ever lost a loved one or lost their way. But he offers hope in the form of fireflies and images evoking the wooded landscapes of his youth.

Joey Stepp

Entertainment is the power of surprise; the power to escape and a time to capture the priceless moments in life. My shows range from small intimate gatherings to large stage shows. No show is too big or too small. No crowd is too young or old. While attending Marshall University I became a 3 year lettermen for the football team, playing in and winning four MAC Conference championships as well as four bowl games. I received my masters degree in School Counseling.
