The Barr Brothers Extend Their Let It Hiss Tour
(Shore Fire) The Barr Brothers' headlining tour in support of their just-released new album Let It Hiss (Secret City) now totals over 30 dates, with today's announcement of a March run of shows in the Southwest and West Coast, including the Lodge Room and Troudadour in Los Angeles March 19 + 20. Let It Hiss - Brad and Andrew Barr's first album in nearly 8 years - is being met with raves.
Internationally renowned for their virtuosic musicianship and electrifying live performances, The Barr Brothers recently completed a run of shows in support of Mumford & Sons (who drummer Andrew Barr joined on their recent Rushmere tour) that saw the band performing in arenas, including a homecoming performance at Montreal's Bell Centre. Recently-announced support for the forthcoming headlining tour includes ascendant singer/songwriter Anna Tivel, muli-instrumentalist/songwriter Benjamin Lazar Davis, and Montreal's own Land Of Talk, who provides guest vocals on Let It Hiss.
Let It Hiss was produced by Brad and Andrew Barr, working primarily as a duo out of their Montreal studio, and worked with mix engineer Jon Low (The National, Taylor Swift, Bon Iver). In addition to Elizabeth Powell (Land Of Talk)'s contributions on "Run Right Into It", the album also features guest appearances from Jim James (My Morning Jacket), Patrick Watson, and Klo Pelgag. Their fourth studio album isn't just a collection of 10 vital new songs, it's a document of transformation. The result of a pivotal shift: 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.
Released in July as the second preview of Let It Hiss, the propulsive open-road anthem "Run Right Into It" has been released as a new mix by Rich Costey (Death Cab For Cutie, The Killers, Haim, Foster the People) and is climbing the charts at AAA radio. To date, the track has landed in the Top 10 most increased spins at Mediabase w/ 40 ADDS and Let It Hiss has also seen extensive support on DSPs, with new tracks appearing on playlists like Fresh Folk (Spotify), and Wax Eclectic (Apple Music).
