The Barr Brothers: Influences

Few bands build a vibe like The Barr Brothers, and their predecessors were truly maestros of mood. The Montreal band take cues from the intimate songwriting of their adopted city’s giant of poetry, Leonard Cohen, and his natural sensuality. They’ve built bluesy rockers inspired by Link Wray’s ramshackle stomp and drawn on the hypnotic, complex string work of Toumani Diabaté for their nuanced compositions.
