"Everyone just feels better after Barry's performances"

Barry Roberts began his singing and performance career at age 12! His talents have taken him from every major Catskill resort, in its heyday, to two performances at the White House. (Yes, that White House!)

He has appeared at major concert halls of 2000 people with a sixty piece orchestra, to small, intimate venues with a trio or piano accompaniment. Barry's performance schedule has taken him across the USA to almost every state and several major cities in Canada.

In 2000, Barry was called upon to create the lead role in the successful, off-Broadway, limited run of "Millennium Charge." Since then, he has also performed on the Celebrity Cruise Lines.

Barry's musical shows are very diverse and always include songs from the "Great American Songbook," current popular hits and one or two uniquely special numbers that audiences love. Additionally, Barry can create a custom tailored cabaret show for your theme night or audience demographic. And, Barry's "All Request Show" is always a hit.

Aside from Barry's rich expressive voice, audiences truly enjoy his unique style, captivating personality and ready sense of humor.

Here are some quotes from letters Barry has received:
