The Barr Brothers – formed by Brad and Andrew Barr – released their debut album in 2010 and have since been awarded three Félix Awards in Quebec, three JUNO Award nominations for Adult Alternative Album of the Year, and a Polaris Music Prize longlist placement. They are regular-rotation fixtures on NPR, SiriusXM, KCRW, KEXP and have made multiple national TV appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman and CBS Saturday Morning. Their music has also been heard on programs like True Detective, Your Honor, Catfish, Rookie Blue and more, and their work has earned praise from legends such as Robert Plant, Bon Iver, David Crosby and Bill Kreutzmann. Brad and Andrew also co-wrote a song for the movie The Iron Claw featuring Jeremy Allen White titled “Live That Way Forever” with Richard Reed Perry and Little Scream. When The Barr Brothers aren’t touring, Andrew spends time playing drums for Feist, Gracie Abrams, Broken Social Scene and others.
Their new album Let it Hiss is the result of a pivotal shift – it represents a pause for reflection, a reckoning with vulnerability, and a reconnection between two brothers who’ve spent their entire lives making music side by side. The album release arrived alongside an arena support tour with Mumford & Sons in North America and Europe this Fall.
