The Barr Brothers expand tour, playing free NYC show this month

Barr-Brothers-Press-Crop-2

Montreal’s The Barr Brothers will release their new album, Queens of the Breakers, in about a month (10/13) and recently shared a new song off it — the bluesy rocker “It Came to Me.” You can check that out and the album’s atmospheric first single “You Would Have to Lose Your Mind” below.

On their way down to Texas’s Utopiafest this month, The Barr Brothers will stop in NYC to play a free show at Rockwood Music Hall on September 20. That’s an early show — they’re on at 7 PM — and you do need to claim tickets to attend. If you’ve never see them, the subtleties and nuances of their arrangements really become apparent live — like the unique style of their harp player — and they’re worth catching. They’ll be back in NYC on their fall tour, playing Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg on December 1. (tickets).
