RAVE REVIEWS of VIEW IS FINE

"Barkan strums and picks his way through seven soulfully moody and brilliant songs. Sounding at times like Elliott Smith or even Jason Molina at their best, Jared''s songs are so touching that they penetrate ones emotions and linger forever."
NBC News

"magnetically charged vocals...talents in both the vocal department and guitar playing aren''t going to be easily challenged by many other artists.. pick up this EP!"
SMOTHER Magazine

"With a heavy guitar stroke and ample technical ability, Jared Barkan twists through the narrow passageways of songwriting and finds a niche for himself... the subtlety in both vocal performance as well as instrumental presentation is remarkable."

Born and raised in NYC, Jared Barkan started playing gigs in NY clubs at age 15. When he wasn''t playing sessions with jazz legend Ornette Coleman, or acting as a sideman for artists such as La India (Sony Latin), Connie Petruk (David Bowie), Joe Gallant (Grateful Dead) and Andrew Williams (Wynton Marsalis), Jared was studying classical guitar with Brazilian guitar virtuoso Carlos Barbosa-Lima, and jazz theory with pianist Gary Dial. From the unique style and mastery of the guitar that he developed coupled with influences from his rock favorites like Steely Dan and The Beatles, he emerged a beautiful and sophisticated songwriter. And in 2004, Jared recorded and released his debut EP View is Fine to rave reviews.

Since moving to Southern California in late 2004, Jared has become a stand-out performer on the singer/songwriter scene. He recently mesmerized crowds at the San Diego Indie Music Fest, was chosen as a finalist in https://www.tradebit.com''s "The Best Entertainment" competition in the Rock/Alternative Performance category, and has performed live on KPFK radio and at intimate venues in featured spots in and around Los Angeles.
His songs entertain and enchant. His voice invites and provokes. His guitar playing enthralls and inspires. His music is not to be missed.

In December of 2005, Jared released his sophomore effort Darkblue, which has already received very high praise, with reviewers comparing him to people like Cat Stevens, Elliott Smith, Simon and Garfunkel and The Beatles.

He is currently touring the west coast, from San Diego to Seattle, working on new tunes, and plotting new musical directions for his local (LA) shows and his as-yet-untitled next EP.
