Barron is the son of Bobby & Betty Maness and is a
native of Moore County, North Carolina. He is the fourth of Bobby and Betty Maness' children. Barron is a graduate of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is a credit officer with the Carolina Farm Credit in Carthage, NC. Barron was raised in northern Moore County and currently resides in Pinehurst, NC. He is an avid sports enthusiast and fan of his beloved Tar Heels, Dolphins, Cardinals and Celtics. Barron enjoys staying physically active with a variety of sports including tennis, basketball and golf and jogs anywhere from 3-5 times per week.
Over the past several years, Barron Maness has received high accolades for his performances statewide, regionally and locally in North Carolina. Barron has a wide Baritone vocal range from a tender balladeer to the powerful sound of a theatrical vocalist. Barrons strong and genuine connection with his audiences transcends barriers and creates an enjoyable entertainment experience.
Barron is adept at performing a variety of music in his
own personal style from the Broadway classics to the sounds of today's top recording pop artists. Since early childhood, Barron has been performing in church musicals, school and civic events and local theatre. As a result of his parents' vibrant love for a variety of musical styles and artists, Barron was introduced to a wide-range of musical genres. His parents helped to establish a solid musical foundation with piano lessons, structured choral teaching and individual performance opportunities.
Barron has performed as a featured soloist in various
programs and concerts all across North Carolina over the past 20 years. From high school and collegiate theatrical productions as lead actor and vocalist in Brigadoon and Lil' Abner among many others, Barron has been featured as lead vocalist with various performance groups. Barron has competed in various regional and national music competitions and in 1995 competed and advanced to the finals of the National Contemporary Christian Music Competition in Nashville, Tennessee. He also received high
accolades as the featured guest performer at the Miss North Carolina Scholarship Pageant and over the past 2 years has co-produced and starred in 5 musical variety shows, which showcase his wide range of musical tastes and talents to packed auditoriums.
The following excerpt from an interview with Barron
gives you a feel for the person and his artistic influences.
"God has blessed me with so much in my life. He has
given me wonderful friends and family, which make my life so much richer and meaningful, and a mom and dad who have provided me with a Christian home full of love, guidance and support. The greatest joys in my life all revolve around my family, my dear friends and music! My earliest memories involve singing, which was always a family affair as a result of the insistence of my dad and the fact that all my siblings are singers. In fact, I am often asked what
singer or performer has had the most influence on me,
and without a doubt that is my dad! My dad introduced and exposed all of his children to a plethora of musical performers from the thrilling sounds of Elvis to the crooning of Sinatra. I have encapsulated those influences and attempted to develop a style that is uniquely my very own. I have been singing and performing my entire life and have loved it from childhood to now! Whether I am
performing the majestic sounds of a big show tune
with the full compliment of an orchestra, a tender pop
ballad to the strains of an acoustic guitar, or a heart
touching Christian song with piano only, I feel very
comfortable. I also want to say a special "thank you"
to all of my fans for all of the love and support you
have given me through the years."

My new featured band for 2010 is called TASTE. TASTE is comprised of good friends and outstanding musicians: Ron Huff of Aberdeen on keyboards and Bass, Bobby Johnson of Sanford on drums and Tony Richardson of Aberdeen on lead guitar and of course yours truly as lead vocalist and frontman.
The band has been performing at various venues in the region now for the past 6 months and has been experiencing great feedback from enthusiastic audiences. TASTE plays a variety of cover tunes from classic standards of jazz and swing to the sounds of Carolina beach music, to the pop, rock and motown sounds of the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's and contemporary sounds of today's artists. The band has great versatility and is adept at country club formal settings for weddings or social events as well as being featured entertainment at various night spots and civic functions.
All the musicians in the band are well known for their work across the Carolinas with other bands and artists and I feel very fortunate to be working with these true professsional artists. Come out in 2010 and catch a performance of TASTE and I am confident you will not only be entertained, but you will have an enjoyable experience!
