TwoZ a Crowd is... Barbara June and Patrick Michael.

Barbara June is an accomplished singer/songwriter and musician, having performed with the Windy Ridge Band, Patrick Michael adds his more than ample talents as a songwriter, musician, vocalist, arranger and studio engineer.

Each song on this album was arranged, performed, produced and engineered at Windy Ridge Studio in country setting with a quaintness that is about as an inspiring a place as you can find to satisfy the urge and need to create.

Their Debut Album, “Looking for a Reason” was released in March of 2004.

TWOZ A CROWD: Looking for a Reason Barbara's writing and vocal offering is rooted in Bluegrass and Folk music. Michael's contribution comes from the other end of the spectrum with the more lively rhythms and licks of Rock. Together, they deliver a diverse, delicious and excellent blend

They deliver a diverse, delicious and excellent blend of distinctive melodies. Their music and lyrics are born from the lessons and emotions of life lived.

Though the music is impressive, it is Barbara’s vocals which give the music its flavor and distinctiveness. Her delivery is powerful and from the heart. Patrick not only adds vocal backup, but electric guitars, bass and drums.

Barbi & Pat perform all of the music and vocals on this album making it difficult, if not impossible to duplicate in “live” setting. There are few “Studio Only” artists who have had great success in the music business. Some of the notables are; Dan Fogelberg (Pat’s mentor), Steely Dan and the Alan Parsons Project.

Pat comments, “We are not aspiring to become Rock Stars, we merely want to share our music with any and all. The songs here on the Web Site are a few of the drafts destined for the album. We are confident that you will like them so much, that you will tell your friends and associates of your 'terrific find' and want to purchase the album when it is completed".

The album cover pictured above, as well as some the other photos are graced by Barbi’s two sons Carter & Leland.
