Avail frontman Tim Barry is still part of the punk-rock outfit, but stays exclusive to whatever bill he performs on. Essentially, solo gigs see the Virginia boy maintain his folk state of mind, and completely ignore Avail material. He does have some new music to push, though.

For all we know, Spring Hill, which released last year, may have taken lyrical inspiration from his time hanging out with his old bandmates again. Just a thought.

Tim Barry returns to Ybor City next week for a show at Crowbar on Thursday, April 13—tickets are still available and start at $17.
