This week (September 27), Montreal-based folk outfit the Barr Brothers earned our Mark of Excellence their self-titled debut (out now via Secret City Records), which we called "a richly layered tapestry and easily one of the most compelling Canadian debuts of this year." Now, they're getting ready to promote the record with a North American tour.
The fall outing begins with a number of Quebec shows and will also take the band to Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Along with the Canuck dates, the Barr Brothers will head south for a number of U.S. gigs.
The outing includes a leg with Timber Timbre, plus one-off gigs with Miracle Fortress, the Low Anthem, Little Scream and Deer Tick. According to a press release, the shows will offer "nuanced folk, African-laced rhythms and blistering blues." See the schedule below.
Below the dates, you'll also find the Barr Brothers' new video for the album track "Beggar in the Morning." The clip "features figurines made out of bones, shells and other found objects by British Columbian artist Stephan Bircher, brought to life with rusty machine parts in his studio."
