Barrage is the latest entry in the multi-theatrical Stomp/Blast craze. Using violins as the binding element is daring and somewhat inspired, and the music is well-performed and very enjoyable to listen to, though Barrage doesn't always hit the heights it aspires to. Like fellow Canadians Leahy (the Celtic-focused family), Barrage members both fiddle and dance, but as singers and dancers, Barrage are excellent fiddle players. Barrage: The World on Stage has a lively charm, and as you find yourself tapping along to their enthusiastic performance, you can see why they are favorite performers at Epcot Center (where Barrage is billed as "The World's Hottest Fiddle Group"). The troupe members truly love and are dedicated to their instruments and delight in being a part of an alternative string performance. --Dana Van Nest

Customer Reviews of Barrage - The World on Stage
Fiddle sensation! Being a violin player myself, I am always on the lookout for good violin music. I am open to all styles of music, from classical and jazz to rap and heavy metal. One day, I picked up the remote and started channel surfing. I stopped when I saw this group of musicians performing really catchy music. I fell instantly in love with them. As soon as I could, I bought the CD and DVD, and did everything I possibly could to see them live! I bought the Barrage sheet music, and was first in line to get autographs. I was so psyched to meet them. Most people heard the word 'violin' and they think, ew classical music [stinks], but this is quality music. It's a fusion of everything you could possibly do on the violin. I highly recommend Barrage to anyone who is a fan of music!
Spirited, unconventional approach to Celtic, folk and more..
I had the great fortune to see Barrage in concert last winter, and I was totally blown away by their high-octane performance. Made up of eight Canadian violinists/dancers/vocalists and additional musicians on percussion and bass, Barrage is brimming with youthful energy. Their music is a blend of Celtic, folk, Eastern, and big band swing, and the eight performers also sing and dance while fiddling. A blend of Riverdance and Stomp, the concert is interspersed with comments by the various performers. The projected backgrounds are vivid and Celtic-inspired, reminding me once again of Riverdance.
Although the DVD label claims that there is a documentary and biography, both claims are misleading. There is a short promo for *a* documentary, and a very brief biography of the band in general. Barrage: The World on Stage is perfect for aspiring stepdancers, fiddlers, violinists, and anyone who loves Celtic music and a rowdy good time (think Canadian family group Leahy).
Hooked-On Fiddle?
The disturbing fad started in the 70's with "Hooked-On Classics," in which a producer would mix a disco beat and synths with classical music, continues to spawn it's revolting progeny in the form of Barrage. It's like going to a gourmet restaurant and dousing everything with ketchup. This beautiful fiddle music has been no less ruined than flatulence ruins an elevator ride.
