Where the Wolf Pack Roams

At 61 years old, Joey Barton is the master of the steel guitar whose signature sound has been a constant thread through every Wolf Jackson album. Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, Joey’s playing brings a rich, atmospheric depth to the band’s music, blending classic country twang, bluesy emotion, and rock-infused melodies into a style that is both timeless and unmistakable.

A veteran of the Nashville music scene, Joey has spent decades honing his craft in studios, honky-tonks, and major touring acts, earning a reputation as one of the most expressive and technically skilled steel guitarists around. Inspired by legends like Buddy Emmons, Paul Franklin, and David Lindley, his playing is a perfect mix of soaring leads, subtle swells, and intricate melodic fills that add depth to every song he touches.

Joey has been with Wolf Jackson from the very beginning, playing on their debut album, "Vagabonds & Beggars," and continuing through "No Name Needed" and their latest release, "3 Chord Dance." Whether it’s the weeping steel lines on ballads, the shimmering slides in country-rock anthems, or the swampy blues textures that define the band’s sound, Joey’s contributions have been essential to shaping Wolf Jackson’s identity.

And you can’t miss him—with his fiery red hair, wild energy, and unmistakable presence on stage, Joey is as much a visual icon as he is a sonic one. His flaming locks and effortless command of the steel guitar make him one of the most recognizable and electrifying members of Wolf Jackson.

As a lifelong musician with an ear for emotion, Joey Barton is more than just a steel guitarist—he’s the band’s secret weapon, a musical storyteller whose instrument speaks volumes without a single word.
