Philip Bradford "Brad" Barr[1] (born July 27, 1975),[2] better known by "Brad Barr," is an American-Canadian[3] guitarist and singer-songwriter, best known for his work with The Slip, The Barr Brothers and Surprise Me Mr. Davis.
Born to his mother Nancy Verde Barr, a contemporary author and culinary chef,[4] and his father Philip Duane Barr, a once practicing orthodontist,[5][4] during the summer of 1975 in Providence, Rhode Island. This would set Barr up for a core memory in his adolescent years, a time in which he'd often wander Rhode Island with his early friends, resulting in an incidental visit to the Newport's "Breakers Mansion."[6] This event lead to the inspiration for the titular track of The Barr Brothers' fourth studio album; Queens of The Breakers.[7]
