Northern Heads: Brad Barr interview (Church of the Redeemer 04.10.10)

Brad Barr interview (Church of the Redeemer 04.10.10)


This interview was conducted after a truly religious performance by fellow Rhode Island natives The Low Anthem which held the audience in a quiet thrall. Brad and I had caught up a bit, loaded out their gear and stopped to chat in the cloister of the church behind the pulpit beneath a giant stained glass figuring the long Road to Emmaus.

LB: Tell me about your new member?

BB: Andy (Andres Riel) is an amazing guy.

LB: Where did you meet him?

BB: I met him about 3 or 4 years ago at a jam session at Barfly he was playing bebop... we were just talking about you...

LB: ...Bad shit...

BB: ...He was playing wicked piano in the bar he was playing bebop almost like Count Basie style comping, I loved how he accompanied everyone who was soloing, his solos were good, but he’d really accompany everyone really well that was what really got me.

LB: And you have an ear for that obviously.

BB: Almost a year went by and I needed to record a piano piece so he has a studio, I used his studio, he came to a show that night and he told me if I ever needed someone to play in the band he would love to, so I took him on it.

LB: You finally went with Barr Bros. I think that makes a lot of sense. These guys the Avett Brothers are doing quite well with the brother thing. And these guys the Felice Brothers who I thought were underground New York subway musicians until they popped up on the fucking undercard of Dave Matthews tour.

BB: No shit?

LB: Yeah seriously so just stick with the brothers thing it seems to be some sort of trend in modern music.

BB: Haha, It seemed like you know we were trying to come up with names for what we do (superlittle, Berithen Berio) and there’s alot of different situations we play in.

LB: There’s fraternalism too, it’s at the core of what you do.

BB: And it was too lonely to just be ‘Brad Barr’ cause I’m writing all the songs but Andrew’s been with me every step.

LB: It’s clearly a group.

BB: He’s been making his, he’s been making decisions about how the music comes out- more he actually called The Low Anthem to see if they had a spot on this tour.

LB: And I guess you guys are back next week opening for someone at the Horseshoe.

BB: Plants and Animals

LB: Okay well why don’t we wrap this up here and we’ll catch up there.

Luke 24:13-35

[13] Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. [14] They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. [15] As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; [16] but they were kept from recognizing him.

[17] He asked them, "What are you discussing together as you walk along?"

They stood still, their faces downcast. [18] One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you only a visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?"

[19] "What things?" he asked.

"About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. [20] The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; [21] but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. [22] In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning [23] but didn't find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. [24] Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see."

[25] He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! [26] Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?" [27] And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

[28] As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus acted as if he were going farther. [29] But they urged him strongly, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them.

[30] When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. [31] Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. [32] They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"

[33] They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together [34] and saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon." [35] Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.
