He went on to study with Chet’s brother, Jimmy Atkins, which led to a touring career with his family band from Nashville to Las Vegas. Since settling down in Central New York, he has been in constant demand as a studio musician.
Following in his father’s footsteps, LJ Barrigar is a guitar prodigy, too. He has played alongside Loren at a variety of venues large and small across North America and beyond.
