Barnacle Bill Band

Our most heartfelt sympathies are extended to our bass player, Robert Langley, on the passing of his love, Suzanne Rogness Mead. She was a major support and anchor at all B3 gigs. But moreso, she was Bob’s confidant and best friend. Please continue to keep her family & Bob in your prayers.

Hey everyone! Many apologies for our absence, from FB and different venues in the area. If you recall, Jeff & Rebecca had a baby last May, so the band took a break. We then had a member move out of the area. We may very well reunite members, if others are open/available. Keep rocking! Maybe we will catch you out and about in the Clear Lake area this summer!
