Barrence Whitfield Concert On The Main Stage Outdoors on Saturday Oct. 8

(He) is a rarity in this business–one of a few black, rock n roll singers/entertainers who, Spin Magazine says, maintains a frenzied performance. Whitfield is a performer so consumed with satisfying his audiences that he has been called ‘crazed, frenetic and completely unhinged.’ Barrence, the singer made up of equal parts Arthur Alexander, Nolan Porter, and James Carr, this mofo burns.’ –  BLOODSHOT RADIO

A soul and R&B singer best known as the frontman for Barrence Whitfield & the Savages. Barrence will be performing LIVE in an outdoor concert on Saturday, Oct. 8. You must be at least 21 years of age to enter the private property.  Tickets are available now!

In the 1990s, he recorded two albums with country music singer-songwriter Tom Russell and contributed tracks to tribute albums to Merle Haggard and Don Covay. 1995 saw the release of Ritual of the Savages. A New Hampshire-based jump blues and rockabilly octet, The Movers, recruited him in 1997 and he has performed throughout the UK and Europe. He has also contributed to film scores, including Honeydripper from 2007.

With Andy Jody (Gazelles!, Pearlene, Oxford Cotton, Long Gones) and saxophonist Tom Quartulli, Whitfield, Peter Greenberg (DMZ, Lyres, Customs), and Phil Lenker (Lyres), Barrence Whitfield and The Savages performed two live shows in December 2010 and recorded a brand-new album.  Savage Kings was released on Munster Records in Spain and Shake It Records in the US. In September 2013, Whitfield released Dig Thy Savage Soul on Bloodshot Records.  Whitfield toured Europe and appeared on Jools Holland Show on the BBC. Whitfield described Under the Savage Sky as “giving the kids a musical karate chop to the head.” A follow-up album was recorded in January 2015 at UltraSuede studios and released in August of that year. A third Bloodshot album followed in 2018, Soul Flowers of Titan.

Modern Harmonic released Barrence Whitfield and the Soul Savage Arkestra: Songs from the Sun Ra Cosmos on May 3, 2019. Sun Ra’s idiosyncratic covers of his songs make up this album. In addition to collaborations with the Concussion Ensemble, Waitiki, Milton Reder, and others, this album was co-produced by Irwin Chusid and Brother Cleve and recorded over a period of 25 years.
