Lindsay Gallery presents Bone Country—a raw and soulful collaboration between two artists shaped by music, movement, and making. Together, Barnes and Nichols offer a body of work that’s weathered, warm, and deeply human—full of story, memory, and soul. Don’t miss opening night: Ricky and Jeb will share a few songs in the gallery.

Ricky Barnes

Ricky has lived many lives—executive chef, touring musician—but today he calls rural Ohio home. Surrounded by animals, found wood, and flea market treasures, Barnes creates instinctual, unfiltered folk art with grit and heart.

Jeb Loy Nichols

Jeb, a former road-hardened musician, now lives in the stillness of rural Wales. His art carries the echoes of cities he left behind—New York, London—and the quiet rhythm of a slower, more deliberate life.
