As the former leader of Navar and The Barry Brothers Band, singer-songwriter Patrick Barry hails from Fillmore, NY but now calls High Point, NC his home. His journey began back in 1998 when, as a broken-hearted 18-year-old U.S. Marine stationed at Twentynine Palms, CA, he started penning heartfelt songs that would eventually become Navar's debut album.
Throughout the 2000s, Navar released four albums, gained regional radio play, and toured extensively. Later, in 2010, The Barry Brothers Band was formed as a college project for Patrick's younger brother Bradford. The bluesy, folk-rock group with a storytelling southern flair released three EPs and toured regularly along the Southern Tier.
Then, in 2014, after 17 years apart, Patrick was reunited with the love of his life, the muse who first sparked his musical odyssey. Embracing this new chapter, Patrick moved to High Point, NC to build a life alongside his wife, two children, and two dogs.
"Making Up Time" is set against the backdrop of a serene fall scene, where Barry reminisces about simpler times and seeks to make up for moments missed with his cherished loved one. The song captures the essence of taking control of one's destiny, embracing the present, and letting go of the past.
Stepping into the next decade of his career as a solo artist, Barry's music is personal and poetic, with a strong connection to the impassioned late 90s alternative that shaped his young heart. His 2019 single, "Ray Axelson (Mr. Wonderful)," is a personal portrait of a man who, over the course of a well-worn life, kept his spirits up through tough times with his laughter and positivity.
"Making Up Time" is a heartfelt and nostalgic track that encourages listeners to reflect on their own relationships and the paths they've taken in life. Give this emotionally resonant song a listen and join Patrick Barry on his journey of self-discovery and reconnection.
