Brad Barr Solo Album/Tour

GUITARIST BRAD BARR RELEASES SOLO DEBUT / TOURS IN SUPPORT

Brad Barr

NYC’s Tompkins Square label will release guitarist Brad Barr‘s solo debut, The Fall Apartment: Instrumental Guitar, on September 16, 2008. Brad will be opening for Sonya Kitchell this fall, dates below.

As a member of Northeast-based band The Slip, Brad’s guitar prowess has always been notable, but his true gifts and distinct musical voice are on full display throughout this solo guitar album. An inspiring set of original compositions is complimented by such diverse covers as “Maria La O” by legendary Cuban musician Ernesto Lecuona, Kurt Cobain’s “Heart Shaped Box,” and Le Trio Ferret’s “Gin Gin.” The introspective tone of the album recalls such overlooked loner guitar gems as Lenny Breau’s Cabin Fever or Richard Crandell’s In The Flower of Our Youth, whilst staking out a thoroughly modern approach to solo guitar here in the late ’00’s.
