Brad and Andrew Barr will bring their Barr Brothers Band on the road this spring. Billed as the Montreal-based group’s biggest tour to date, the international outing will include stops in Austin, San Francisco, Seattle, New York and Portland, OR, among other cities. The Slip offshoot’s Austin date is part of the annual SXSW music conference. Andrew and Brad Barr are expected to return to High Sierra this summer after missing the festival for the first time in over a decade while Brad Barr performed in France. The group will perform in Montreal this evening as part of the Montreal High Lights Festival. Also, be sure to read our recent site interview with Brad Barr.
