Johnny Barron and the Waterfall Band are preparing for their upcoming concert on the Square in Downtown Troy. The concert, cosponsored by the Troy Arts Council and the City of Troy, will be on June 6, from 7 to 9 p.m. and will feature a variety of music.

Barron invites everyone of all ages and backgrounds to come out and enjoy the concert.

“My music is a combination of everything for everybody,” said Barron.

Through this concert, the band would like to create an experience that’s enjoyable for everyone.

“I want to have an experience of good, clean, fun, danceable music,” said Barron.

Barron also shared insight into how the band prepares for shows like this.

“Practice. You know my guys think I’m too hard, but I’ll make sure everything is right,” he said. “I want to be the best that I can be.”

Barron, who has been a musician for the bulk of his life, shared that he just wants to make people happy by sharing his passion.

As a musician, Barron has also spent time passing on his skills to students, who sometimes play alongside him. He’d like to emphasize that audiences look out for not only his future performances, but theirs as well.

“Look out for my upcoming people that’s playing because they’re very talented,” said Barron.

Throughout the year, the band plays various shows around the community and encourages everyone to come out and enjoy themselves each time.

“We’re hoping everybody will come out and have a great time, listen to some good music,” said Barron. “We’re going to play something you like.”
