How do you get a name for a band of musicians and friends? Do you sit up late at night, or does it come in a flash of white light... like The Huckleberrys. One of their favorite songs that they had been playing was Larry's song "Elderberry Wine". So as the need arose to have a name on this thing - The huckleberry fit the elderberry!
Larry Barkemeyer, the lead singer and songwriter is the inspiration and musical source-code of the Huckleberry Band. With old friends Jeff Boyle (bass), Tom Ellis (drums) and Colleen Ellis (vocals & guitar) the band was formed to play original & old time music in an acoustic format.
Larry and Jeff grew up in & around Cottage Grove, Oregon.. the home of the Huckleberrys. They have played together for years in various bands throughout the state and have friends and family that come to sit in and play the tunes at almost every opportunity.
The band plays on and the huckleberrys grow just outside of town, and we are stoked to have them back on the BG stage.
As always, shows are ALL AGES and no cover charge.
