Tom Webber was born and raised in Borger, Texas, just north of Amarillo inthe dry dusty Texas Panhandle. His early memories include playing with horny toads and ants. It is clear to all outsiders why music becomes such an important part of a young person's social life in the Texas Panhandle; there is, quite simply, nothing else to do. Tom began jamming in grade school and hasn't stopped. He lived in Kansas, Oklahoma, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, toting a guitar and melody along with him. Barb is a natural storyteller, a talent honed by years of listening. She is also a former frustrated guitar player, finding that her voice could take her songs places her fingers never dared. Barb now writes her songs a cappella and sings the words to Tom. Tom, and sometimes their good friend Gregg Lindsay, arrange the music and announce the genre of her new song. Their voices harmonize, it has been said, like heaven and earth. Tom's voice carries the rumble of the Texas Panhandle and Barb's, the clarity of pure light. Two voices and one guitar open up the doors to the inner heart. Home About Us Fair Webber Music News Reviews Calendar Lyrics Links Contact Us
