BARRENCE WHITFIELD
“Barrence Whitfield sings like a man grappling with insanity”
—CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Winner of 7 Boston Music Awards, Barrence Whitfield is a full-throttle soul screamer in the spirit of Little Richard, Wilson Pickett, Solomon Burke, and James Brown. He has been described as the owner of one incredible pair of lungs, with limitless energy and unmatched enthusiasm for his music and his audience. Barrence is a rarity in this business, one of a few black, rock n roll singers/entertainers who Spin Magazine says maintains a “frenzied” performance.
