BENTALL Taylor Ulrich

Barney Bentall, Tom Taylor and Shari Ulrich first played together in November 2007 at a songwriter concert on Bowen Island. Their continued collaboration grew from the undeniable enjoyment for both the artists and their audiences. They soon after released “Live at Cates Hill”:  an eclectic mix of the character, voices and songwriting talents of these three unique artists.

With juggling all their respective projects it took until the summer of 2015 to embark on recording a second album , “Tightrope Walk”, released by Borealis Records . With Shari’s daughter Julia Graff and partner James Perrella engineering, they set up camp in Barney’s house and created an album, of which all involved were exceedingly proud.  

 With Barney, Shari and Tom all engaged in active solo careers and recordings, the trio gets together for a run of shows as often as possible, always bringing new tunes to the table to work up as only BTU can. Their blend of acoustic guitars, mandolin, fiddle and swoon-worthy three-part harmonies along with their obvious love of performing together is enduring and inspiring.
