Barrence Whitfield is a full-throttle soul screamer in the spirit of Little Richard, Wilson Pickett and Solomon Burke. 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 the few black, rock & roll singer/entertainers who Spin Magazine says maintains a frenzied performance. Whitfield is so consumed with satisfying his audiences that he has been called ‘crazed, frenetic and completely unhinged, made up of equal parts Arthur Alexander, Nolan Porter and James Carr. He already has 7 Boston Music Awards under his fiery belt.
Barrence was discovered by guitarist Peter Greenberg, of the legendary Boston bands DMZ and The Lyres.
