Open Mic via Zoom: Bunny Barnes
December 28 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Bunny Barnes first played guitar at age 16. By age 17, she was teaching Folk and Ragtime picking at Music Masters Studio in Southampton, PA and performing with various bands.
In 2004, Bunny began her solo career, playing in wineries, clubs and restaurants in the Bucks and Montgomery County areas of Pennsylvania. In 2007, a bout with vocal cord cancer cut her singing career short.
In 2008, with the encouragement of her teacher and mentor, world famous guitarist Tommy Emmanuel, Bunny recreated herself by letting the guitar be her voice.
Performance and competition credits include: the CAAS (Chet Atkins Appreciation Society) Convention in 2021, 2022, 2023 & 2024; the 60th Annual Philadelphia Folk Festival in 2022; and 5th Place at the International Home of the Legends Thumbpicking Championship in the Traditional Category in 2017.
Bunny released her first instrumental album, It Goes Like It Goes, in July 2022, and in September 2022, the album was inducted into the National Thumbpickers’ Hall of Fame as “Album of the Year”!!

OPEN MIC
Music starts at 7:00, but if you arrive at 6:30 you can spend some time catching up with friends, helping each other sound check, and just generally enjoying the mellow Folk Guild vibe.
Ethan Campbell will be the Zoom maestro, so if you’re a musician and you’re planning to perform, let Ethan know as soon as you come in from the Waiting Room. He’ll get you into the next available slot. Everybody gets two songs or eight (8) minutes, whichever comes first.
