Bio
Barak Hill is a singer/songwriter from
Southwest Missouri. He plays alt. country, acoustic
rock, folk rock (it's all the same, call it what you
want).
Barak started playing and writing at 14.
A decade later, at 24 his lyrics are tight and polished,
melodies are musical, and story lines end up twisting
a nerve with just about everyone in the audience before
the night is over.
Live Barak plays a strong mix of originals
and some well chosen covers by his favorite artists.
People like The Jayhawks, Wilco, Steve Earle and others.
He has shared the stage with acts as diverse as Big
Smith and international recording artists Proto Kaw.
Barak's first CD, a collection of six
original songs titled "The Winter EP" was
released in January 2004. He recorded and produced the
album in his home studio, enlisting the help of friend
Scott Eastman for some electric guitar work. It's a
straightforward album with very sparse production -
vocals and a couple of guitars for the most part. Barak
wanted to let the songs stand on their own, without
a lot of bells and whistles getting in the way. They're
presented just like you might hear them in a little
coffeehouse or bar in some Southwest Missouri town.
