A graduate of the University of North Florida,

Dustin Barber, known to his friends as "Dusty," began playing guitar at age 7 in Ft. Worth, Texas, where he was born. His father Sam bought him an electric guitar and taught him classics such as "Walk Don't Run" and "Wipe Out," which he leveraged to win elementary school talent shows. Soon after, he was playing complicated classical pieces. In his early teens, he moved to Jacksonville, FL, and became heavily influenced by "Guitar Gods" such as Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai. He vowed to practice 8 hours a day, and did so for many years. By the time he was in high school, he was known as a consummate shredder and began performing with some of the hottest Heavy Metal and Rock and Roll bands in the city. His first big opportunity to tour internationally, surprisingly, was with a Southern Rock / Country band. This required that

he set aside his Charvel and pick up a Telecaster, but as a fan of Chet Atkins, Ricky Skaggs, and Albert Lee, with whom he studied, he had no trouble combining his progressive rock skills with blistering country chops. After honing his craft in a number of regional cover bands, he was interested in taking his skills to the next level. He moved to Los Angeles, toured with national acts, took lessons with artists such as Frank Gambale, did studio sessions, and performed with his friend, child prodigy drummer Jacob Armen. These experiences, along with his Berklee College of Music sessions, opened his eyes to complex music theory as well as unique, non-traditional scales and styles of music and playing. Upon moving back to Jacksonville, FL, he joined a number of Jazz groups, and became a fan of Mike Stern, Lee Ritenour, and George Benson. He was honored to take several master classes with one of his heroes, the legendary Pat Martino, and played with his brother in a popular Contemporary Jazz band called Surge, which produced several albums.

The commercial jazz sound of the time allowed him to integrate Latin American rhythms and styles. He became a fan of Strunz and Farah and Acoustic Alchemy, and soon became versed in Flamenco style. Along with Walter Eaton of the Classics IV, he produced an album of Latin material and later published his much loved song, Manana en Madrid. He spent much of this time performing with artists such as the Groove Inc Band, Alphonso Horne, and Segue, become well versed in motown, funk, and R&B styles. During this time, he toured all of Korea, performing for US troops and Koreans alike as part of the US Army MWR program. Recently, he toured with Jimmy Parrish and the Ocean Waves Band, which allowed him to lend Caribbean, Reggae, and contemporary Island flavors to his style. Presently, Dusty is touring the world with the Godfather of Soul, the legendary Al Green. Performing on stages from London to Madrid and television shows such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, he has remained incredibly busy in 2008. This experience has brought his talent to the forefront, and has proved that he is one of the most versatile guitarists in the nation.

Danny Stimpson-Danny Stimpson began his musical studies while attending junior high school playing saxophone and played into his high school career. In 11th grade Danny switched from sax to drums, made the drum line and performed in numerous competitions and All-County Band on both drums and saxophone. In his senior year he served as the drum major of the Sandalwood High School Marching Band in Jacksonville, FL.

Prior to college Danny toured 14 states playing drums with the Jon Mykal Band, a high-energy dance-pop group performing in clubs and hotels. Danny received his bachelor’s degree in 1993 from the University of North Florida where he studied percussion and performance with Charlotte Mabrey, Principal Percussionist with the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra and was a member of the UNF Percussion Ensemble. While attending UNF Danny also studied Jazz drum set with Rick Kirkland, former drummer for Ray Charles. For many years Danny has performed around the NE Florida area with groups such as Tropico, The Floribbeans, Dan Reading and Friends, Windjammer, Three, El Toro Loco, Jason Anderson, Paul Lundgren, Mike Lyons, and The Committee. His performance background was heavily influenced by the progressive rock units Nudge and Pigeonhole, Latin and Caribbean genres. Danny’s primary work environment is with Caribbean Sound playing drum set and percussion which serves as the “engine room”, the driving force of the band. He has done extensive study in drum set, Caribbean/Latin rhythms, and world music. In addition to Caribbean Sound Danny performs as a freelance drummer/percussionist in the North Florida area, as a private instructor, and as session drummer for Hole of the Pigeon Studio in Jacksonville recording diverse styles for new age, folk, rock and country artists. Danny also helped produce 5 of the 6 CD’s currently available from Caribbean Sound. He was an artist/clinician with Caribbean Sound at the Percussive Arts Society International

Residency Programs “The Rhythm Machine”

An empowering self-discovery through a hands-on investigation of rhythm. Rhythm-A universal word for drumming, rhythm, and life. Individual lives, collective lives. It’s all tied together by rhythm. Rhythm is a living thing. The Caribbean Sound Residency Program is designed to explore the inner rhythm in everyone. Through history, hands on playing and creative activities children and adults will explore their personal rhythm and how to apply this rhythm to all facets of life and become more in touch with the world and themselves. The exploration can include the following; • Children create homemade instruments out of household items such as milk jugs,

paper towel rolls, and tin cans. Using traditional instruments as models, participants will create their own new unique percussion instruments. This segment also focuses on team building skills including co-creating and working together as a team while allowing self-expression of the inner person.

• Music 101. Is it pitched or non-pitched? Sessions will incorporate physics lessons to

help the students understand how and why musical instruments work, and basic math lessons involving counting and how math relates to music.

• Interactive: Call and response games, rhythm games, introducing the use of body

percussion, clapping, chanting, and stomping. This multicultural presentation will include African and Caribbean rhythms and their importance and influence on music of the world.

• The focus of adult settings will be more toward an historical prospective and will

involve the use of drum circles. The residency program is suitable for grades K-12, college classes, elder care facilities, and community groups in a large or small setting.

Residency Fees vary on number of personnel and length of day.
