Aslyn & the Naysayer
Performing at folk fests since attending Flagler College together in 2006.
The members of Aslyn & the Naysayer first met at a Flagler College Battle of the Bands competition, and they have been performing together since 2006. Each member has their own influences and sound, which explains the wide range of music they like to play. As of 2023, the band performs as Aslyn and the Naysayer, with Aslyn Barringer and Jim Johnston.
Aslyn & the Naysayer have performed at festivals and private events such as the Florida Folk Festival, Gamble Rogers Folk Festival, Creekside Festival, and various gatherings, weddings, and more. Some of their favorite artists to cover are Gillian Welch, Randy Newman, and Crooked. Band members enjoy the old traditional bluegrass tunes they try to integrate into their music. Aslyn & the Naysayer also produce their own original tracks, which can be heard on their Soundcloud profile. The band has great chemistry both on stage and off.
