Formed in 1998, Barleyjuice is a collection of 6 blokes from the lowlands of the Mid-Atlantic US. They've just released their third album, Six Yanks, featuring a few traditional songs, some "updated" traditional songs, and a few original tunes - most of which are along standard Barleyjuice themes of enjoying life and love (to the extreme), and having a sense of humor (and a few pints) along the way. The latest CD features tunes with catchy titles such as "Love with a Priest" and "Tartan is the Color of My True Loves Hair".

The band has quite a rich background in music and entertainment. Two of the members - Kyf Brewer (yes, that's really his name) and Keith "Swanny" Swanson played bagpipes in the Loch Rannoch Pipe Band, and performed in Edinburgh in front of Prince Charles. Kyf was also in a band called The Ravyns which did the song "Raised on the Radio" from the film "Fast Times At Ridgemont High".

Kyf also has had a respectable career as an actor and voice talent - he had small roles in several major movies and TV shows such as Homicide and Hack. He was the announcer for the 1995 Billboard Music Awards and the narrator for the VH-1 series "Before They Were Rock Stars".

Barleyjuice has seen their own songs featured TV and film, including the 2000 Stallone film "Driven", as well as a 2004 episode of Fox-TV's "King of the Hill".
