The Barr Brothers, an indie folk band founded in Montreal, have announced they're going to explore their home province of Quebec in February of 2023. Their travels will take commence 10 days during the valentines month, and during their trip, they'll be joined by special guests Shaina Hayes and Gabrielle Shonk on select dates.
"Greetings friends. We’re going to take a spin around Quebec this February to play some of our favourite venues and a few we’ve never been to. Americans, this is a great opportunity to cross the border and discover the charms of Quebec," the band wrote on Instagram. "Vermonters, many say their subtle maple syrup surpasses the big nose of yours. Come see for yourself. Boston, apparently 'poutine' has become popular in your city, why not experience the real thing. New York, take a break, hop on a train, pack your skates. Quebecers, you know how many of you we need to warm up a theatre in February. Come join us!"
The coaxing message was penned by the band, consisting of two American brothers, Andrew (drums, percussion, vocals, keyboards) and Brad Barr (guitar, vocals), as well as bassist Morgan Moore, pedal steel guitarist Brett Lanier, and harpist Eveline Gregoire-Rousseau, and their music is all the more charming.
They closed their message by writing, "We’re very excited to make some music for you all again, it’s been a while. See you soon."
