Jason Marbach and the Barbarossa launched their set with “Good Hearted Woman” by Waylon Jennings that was full of energy and got the crowd moving. Their show included a couple of original songs such as “Brazas River,” but they mostly sang covers ranging from Cross Canadian Ragweed to Johnny Cash. Andy, the bass guitarist, had only been playing with Jason for 4 months but sounded like they had been together for years. The sound of Jason’s voice mixed with the bass and lead guitar was perfect for the atmosphere. Jason mentioned that they were missing their lead guitarist and he had to pick up the slack. I cannot wait to hear them play with the whole band together.
Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill was especially busy on Friday night full of energy and excitement. The restaurant included a patio that is right off the Bricktown Canal and a stage that faces the open dining area and bar. The venue is perfect for concerts because there is not a bad seat in the house.
The audience loved Jason Marbach and Barbarossa. Here are some quotes that we heard throughout the night.“Anytime they are on the marquee, I will definitely come see them again. I was impressed with the amount sound that came from just three instruments.”
-Brian, Midwest City
“I like him a lot, he has got a great voice.”
-Manager of Toby Keith’s I love this Bar and Grill
“It’s my kind of music, from Cross Canadian Ragweed to Waylon Jennings.”
-Cody, Midwest City
“They have such an original sound, they play their own original songs which are great but they also know exactly how to play everyone’s favorites.”
-Mike, Pryor
“Jason’s voice is so sexy, I want to jump on stage!”
-Lauren, Lawton
People were smiling, dancing, and singing along while Jason Marbach and Barbarossa played their versions of “Family Tradition” by Hank Williams Jr. and “Oklahoma Breakdown” by Stoney LaRue.
