Sean Barry

Sean Barry began his musical journey at 13 in 1964, learning first to play the guitar, then the 5-string banjo, mandolin, resonator guitar, and fiddle. Later he added the pedal steel guitar to his musical arsenal. He joined San Francisco’s California Zephyr Band in 1976, and with that band he traveled throughout North America for 10 years. California Zephyr spent an additional 20 years playing throughout California and releasing albums. Sean has also been a luthier and instrument repairperson for almost 60 years, specializing in F-5 mandolin construction. With Terri Barry, his spouse of 45+ years, Sean enjoys traveling, and the two have visited Jordan, the Faroe Islands, Denmark, Nepal, and New Zealand in recent years.
