Barb Harmatys
Hi. I'm Barb Harmatys and I live in a small rural community in Alberta. I'm a Christian singer/songwriter who grew up loving the folk "greats" of the 70's. I hope you like my music. I look forward to sharing it with you.
Why this name?
My name is my name....
Do you play live?
I do play live whenever and wherever I get a chance, as God opens doors.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The Internet has been a real God-send for me. It is a great way to introduce myself and my music to the general public. But most of all, it's also a wonderful way to share my faith.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, I would love to sign a record contract with a major Christian label. It would be an awesome way to spread the Gospel to a larger audience.
Your influences?
My musical influences include Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, CSN&Y, and James Taylor, to name a few.
Favorite spot?
So far in my limited travels, I would have to say Vancouver Island, B.C. is my favorite.
