Her solo recordings, Bonny at Morn and Celtic for Kids, were both released in June 2002. Celtic for Kids has been awarded a Parents' Choice Recommendation. "Grant captivates people with her beautiful voice . . . (Her) skill in singing in native languages has earned her praise from the Irish community." - San Francisco Examiner.

The power to evoke deep feeling lured Barbary away from a successful career
as a classical pianist into the lyrical world of traditional Celtic music.
"Discovering my singing voice," says Barbary, "opened a natural and potent
emotional connection with my audience." Her powerful and expressive voice
combines with her dynamic Irish harp in unapologetically beautiful music.
By turns romantic and playful, Barbary's music and warm stage presence
have captivated concert-goers throughout California for more than a decade.
Barbary performs many songs in Irish and Scots Gaelic. She has worked
with several private tutors to learn lyrics in their native languages.
This homage won her first place in competition at the 1998 Great American
Irish Fair. Recently she has added Manx songs to her repertoire.
