Minneapolis bar-stage stalwart Gabe Barnett, and the ever-evolving crew behind him, them Rounders, seamlessly merge the heartfelt, poetic narratives of a folksinger with the cool, swaggering performance of a jazz combo, and add enough punky spirit, experimental tones, and danceable grooves to keep their sound uniquely their own, accomplishing what so many artists struggle to capture in their creations: timelessness.
“Gabe Barnett is the real deal: an astute storyteller and craftsman” -89.3 The Current
“Gabe’s voice sounds amazing.. ..with a little bit of a Lou Reed vibe. [His] sound is easy.. ..catchy and with a pleasant build and dénouement” -Mostly MN Music
