  • Dale Guy Barnes is one of the most consistent & versatile writers we've ever worked with. This man has hit-hooks coming out of his ears and can turn his hand to many styles. He is also an extremely gifted musician & engineer. On top of this he's simply a great guy - down to Earth and big hearted - a pleasure to work with. Fully deserving of the success he's been having of late." ?Dale Askew A&R Direction Audiofreaks/Galactic Music??
