Check Out Logan Barnhill’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Logan Barnhill.

Logan, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
It all started with an Indiana acoustic and a big backyard. From day one I was always interested in songwriting. That’s my biggest passion, and it’s what gets me through the rough patches. I’ve been in plenty of bands, shared the stage with some notable artists, and have traveled the country with a slew of ‘close calls’. The industry has changed as much as I have over the years, but the one thing that has always stayed the same is my approach to songwriting. It’s simple at its core, just me and my guitar, and that’s just how I like it. My newest project, Woolsey, utilizes that same approach. We are a roots revival group consisting of solely original material. We debuted on air on 103.5fm on Heartland Sessions. I have Abe Calixto on bass and Lori Cummins on mandolin and harmonica. I Can’t wait to take this act on the road and embrace the next step in my career.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Oh lord, no. I’ve lived 30 different places easily in the last 4 years. No real support system until recently and at first it was a slow grind. I can honestly say though if you have talent don’t get discouraged, stick with it! It does get easier!

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I keep a bartending job for now and use it as a means to stay loose by hosting an open jam there weekly. El Gatos Tavern every Thursday from 8pm to until the music dies in Granite City, Illinois!

What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
The lesson in music is how to learn your lessons when they happen because they will! I try to cast a big net because if you pigeon hole yourself into too small a circle you may hamfist your way out of it if your not careful! Were musicians, were unpredictable, full of ourselves, and impulsive, what could possibly go wrong? Yup, everything you just thought, I’ve dealt with!
