Artist Bios: Barry Rabin: Chester County (PA) native Barry Rabin’s songs tackle such critical social issues as horse castration, dancing with poultry, and the star-crossed love lives of New Jersey condom factory workers. During his 40-year music career, he has performed in such venues as the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Nashville’s Bluebird Café, The Comedy Store in Los Angeles and Catch a Rising Star in New York City. When he’s not writing and performing funny songs, Barry can be found practicing law in the western suburbs of Philadelphia. Barry’s motto is, “Write the songs that haven’t been written yet – and for good reason!” Video clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB8VjhCDGmY Website: https://www.facebook.com/barry.rabin
