Barra (Gaelic for summit or top of) has a focus on performing traditional Irish dance music as well as ballads, songs, and listening tunes with the design of carrying on the ceilidh band tradition.

Barra provides an energetic assortment of tunes for community occasions such as family dances and local gatherings. We strive to keep the music traditional as supported especially in Irish and Scottish communities, but also in the tradition of many other societies such as Appalachian, Cape Breton, or any community that supports non-commercial music and dance. The band features Amy Shaw (Irish flute), Karie Oberg (vocals), John McCormick (accordion/vocals), Deborah Martin (fiddle) and Paul Garding (guitar/octive mandolin/vocals).
