Jay Funk Dawg Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Joe's Pub, NYC Set List was something like this: Beggar In the Morning Old Mythologies Chealsea Deacon's Son Cloud Ooh, Belle Lord, I Just Can't Keep From Crying Encore w/ Jocie Adams & her band Let Me Let It Go Give The Devil Back His Heart I love how they said on the second song, ' we all live in Canada - home of best hockey team 'The Canadians'. Apparently that was said for the hockey player in the audience.

bradm Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I think most of the other shows are opening slot for Blind Pilot who is also playing Letterman this week. I checked the Blind Pilot tour dates, and the overlap looks like just the American Barr Brothers dates:Feb 04 / The Canopy Club / Urbana, ILFeb 06 / Newport Music Hall / Columbus, OHFeb 07 / The Crofoot / Pontiac, MIFeb 09 / Beachland Ballroom Tavern / Cleveland, OHFeb 10 / Mr. Small's Theatre / Pittsburgh, PAFeb 11 / The Haunt / Ithaca, NYFeb 12 / Pearl Street Downstairs / Northampton, MAFeb 14 / Bearsville Theater / Bearsville, NYAloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Barr Brothers snuck a nice little video link and anecdote in their email blast.---------------------------------------​We're starting 2012 out with some exciting news. First, we'll be performing on Late Night with David Letterman this Thursday, January 5th at 11:35pm. Brad and Andrew's mom, Nancy Verde Barr, was on Letterman 25 years ago, as Julia Child's assistant when she prepared a hamburger for Dave, which he ate raw because the power went off on the stove (not our mom's fault - click here to watch!). Hopefully he'll remember.SHX0pv8_JOE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blane Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Dear Mrs. Claus is an original tune.You can buy the mp3 on iTunes and maybe amazon?My understanding is that it was a cover. Forget where I read that.Just listening to the band's NPR performance from today (http://www.npr.org/2012/01/05/144678767/the-barr-brothers-on-world-cafe) and it's simply amazing how much Brad's vocals have improved (or been re-invented) for this band. I can remember Slip stuff being positively cringe-worthy at times, and now there are elements that are really beautiful (just listening to Old Mythologies here as an example).Slip forum?

Northern Wish Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I agree on Brads singing. Those lessons Dickey made him take are finally paying off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsamuel3 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Yah Brad has definitely found his voice for the most part.Even the 30/31 2011 Slip shows he sounds much better, but it still strains him to sing in a full blown rock and roll style at times. But then again, if you listen to Heartbreaker from 12/31/2011 he absolutely kills it. Sounds amazing.Bottom line, he's a smoker and not a strong vocalist naturally, he's worked at it. But he's found his footing it seems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Out of all of the things I never thought I would see in my lifetime; Brad Barr singing on live national TV would certainly have made the list.Well done!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
