Meet Barry
Shapiro’s career began in Boston, not as a musician, but as a Group Psychotherapist where he worked with emotionally-troubled teens. It was during this time that he was inspired to write music.
Shapiro had written and performed before but now his talents would take on an importance on the same level as his work at various outpatient treatment clinics. “I believe that music is an important way to create positive changes in the world,” he explains, “through a sound that transcends language, culture and philosophy.”

“Wow! Now that’s my kind of music. Thanks so much for putting on the performance last night. It was the most enjoyable concert I’ve ever attended. (and I saw Bob Dylan and Joan Baez at the Newport Folk Festival!)…”
Rose Giacchino
coffee house owner
“I LOVE Barry!!! He has so much positive energy and connection with the customers. Barry has such a smooth and deep, wonderful voice, it is always a pleasure to listen to him perform. At his caliber of talent, I consider myself blessed that he still plays at my shop, that’s how good he is. All around, I love having Barry as one of my live musicians; it keeps customers coming back for more.”
Christina LaRocca

“Barry’s earthy vibe brings about an Americana sound that compliments every kind of setting. Anytime I booked him on the ever busy Bleecker Street, he would always capture the hard-to-please happy hour goers and they would find themselves caught in his groove.”
