Barrage - Bay Chamber Concerts
29 Elm Street
Camden,
Maine
04843
Phone: (207) 236-2823
May 02, 2010. Barrage boasts a musical lineup almost as unconventional as the music they play. The group is comprised of a half dozen fiddle players backed by a rock band and blends jazz, classical and rock. The result is not quite classical and not exactly rock - imagine Led Zeppelin played by a pack of out-for-blood violins. Barrage is more than just a group that performs music while standing on stage. Their shows have been compared to such aggressively theatrical presentations as "Stomp" and "Riverdance," while being praised for their musical excellence. At the Camden Opera House at 2:30 p.m. Map + Directions | Report Update
