Loren & LJ Barrigar
The 443 Social Club

The 443 Social Club
443 Burnet Ave., Syracuse

Loren Barrigar started playing guitar when he was only four years old, and by the time he was six, played the Chet Atkins hit "Yackety Axe" in front of thousands of country music fans at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. He went on to study with Jimmy Atkins (Chet's brother) which led to a touring career with his family band from Nashville to Las Vegas. Since settling down in Central New York, he has been in constant demand as a studio musician.

These days, his talented son LJ joins him on stage, following in the family business.
