The Barr Brothers are an acclaimed indie folk band originating from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The band was formed by siblings Brad and Andrew Barr, well-known for their rich musical partnership which has evolved over the years since their time with Boston-based band The Slip. Along with classically trained harpist Sarah Pagé, the Barr Brothers create a seamless blend of folk, rock, and blues with a hint of classical and North African music. Their intricate compositions are often characterized by the intimate interplay between the harp's ethereal tones and the gritty, emotional resonance of the guitar, harmonized with poetically reflective lyrics.

The group's self-titled debut album, "The Barr Brothers," released in 2011, introduced their unique soundscapes to the world, gaining them significant attention in the indie music scene. The subsequent release of "Sleeping Operator" in 2014, followed by "Alta Falls" in 2015, exhibited their penchant for expanding the folk genre's boundaries. Their 2017 album "Queens of the Breakers" further solidified their standing, presenting a collection of songs that vary from the euphoric and anthemic to the subdued and introspective. With critical acclaim for their evocative storytelling and live performances that draw audiences into their sonically rich and emotionally nuanced journeys, The Barr Brothers have secured their position as a jewel in the contemporary folk music crown.
