Songwriters Emily Barnes and René Moffatt are performing a song swap at Salt Road Brewing. About Emily Barnes:
Emily Barnes is a contemporary folk singer/songwriter whose music breathes life into the characters and stories of everyday people. With a voice that cuts to the bone and lyrics that linger long after the last note, she crafts songs that feel both intimately personal and universally human.
Born and raised in Johnsonburg, New Jersey (a town so small it doesn’t appear on most maps) Barnes began writing songs on the stone steps of her 200 year old house. From those quiet beginnings, she’s built a grassroots following the old-fashioned way: one room, one story, and one listener at a time.
Armed with her acoustic guitar and a raw, haunting voice, Barnes has performed in cities and small towns across the county, captivating audiences and building a grassroots following. Her latest album, Mint Condition, took her on a sold out tour throughout the Northeast and marked her most accomplished work to date.
A recognized talent in the songwriting community, Emily has been a finalist in several major festivals, including the Kerrville Folk Festival, Red Lodge Songwriters Festival, Blast on the Bay, and The Acorn Songwriting Contest.
About René Moffatt:
A heart-warming songwriter with an eclectic edge, hellbent on writing songs filled with emotional honesty and memorable hooks. René Moffatt is a Texas-bred, Colorado-based songwriter whose music blends heartfelt Americana, melodic folk-pop, and lyrical storytelling that’s equal parts whimsical and profound. Drawing comparisons to artists like Jackson Browne and The Avett Brothers, his guitar-forward songs resonate with emotional honesty and modern accessibility. Whether on intimate listening room stages or festival lineups, René delivers performances that invite reflection, connection, and sing-alongs. With roots in boomtown Texas and a growing presence in the Denver scene, he’s a late-blooming troubadour poised for wider recognition.
