The Barr Brothers

The Barr Brothers are a Montreal-based Americana/progressive folk quartet with roots in New England and a deep love of folk, blues, and world music. Brad Barr's assured vocals and strong songwriting are complemented by his brother Andrew's sturdy and studious drumming, along with tasteful contributions from bassist Morgan Moore, pedal steel guitarist Brett Lanier, and harpist Eveline Gregoire-Rousseau. Emerging in 2006, the group's sophomore long-player, 2014's delta blues-leaning Sleeping Operator, earned a Juno nomination, while 2017's homespun Queen of the Breakers topped multiple critics' year-end lists. In 2024, the group teamed up with Richard Reed Perry (Arcade Fire) and Little Scream on the single "Live That Way Forever."
