Will Barrow: From Bach to Bacharach to Brazil and Back

Saturday, September 12th, 2026, 7:30 PM

Nashville Jazz Workshop

Pianist, singer-songwriter, and composer Will Barrow brings a genre-spanning career to the stage for an evening that reimagines classical piano works — Bach, Grieg, Debussy, Ravel, and Scriabin — through modern rhythms and improvisation. The program also draws on Brazilian music, the songs of Bacharach and Mancini, and Barrow's own original compositions and songs.

Barrow has toured with vocalist Gregory Porter, banjoist Alison Brown, and vocalists Steve Wariner, Crystal Gayle, Suzy Bogguss, and Kathy Mattea. He's featured on recordings with guitarist Tommy Emmanuel, singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan, the Indigo Girls, and saxophonist Benny Golson (with vocalist Gail Davies). His solo instrumental contribution to the compilation album Beautiful Dreamer: The Songs of Stephen Foster earned a Grammy award.

He'll be joined by Brian Allen (bass), Chris Brown (drums), and Jerome Degey (guitar).
