Barkhouse’s origins trace back to pre-teen musical awakenings when Will de Zengotita (guitar, vocals) began parallel partnerships with his cousin Olmo Tighe (drums, vocals) and childhood friend Jay Mort (bass, keyboards, vocals).
Those relationships were combined in the early 2000s and grew through a number of iterations, culminating in Barkhouse’s debut release in 2012. The band has been writing, performing and recording ever since and released their first full length album in August of 2022, the critically acclaimed Paper & Ink. A quick overview of the catalog, which ranges from power chord punk to piano ballad, combined with the Paper & Ink’s appearance on the Americana Radio chart, gives one a sense of the breadth of the material these three have produced over the years.
