Sibling singer-songwriters Matthew Barber and Jill Barber have come together for The Family Album, a collection of originals and covers and the first recorded collaboration between the two. The six covers include Neil Young's "Comes A Time", Ian Tyson's "Summer Wages" and “Song To A Young Seagull” by Gene MacClellan as well as "The Partisan", a French folk classic Leonard Cohen popularized. The rest of the album, available on Outside Music and produced by the Barbers, is comprised of trad-folk originals, going deep into their family history and musical roots.
They are playing the Regent Theatre in Picton Nov 10, the Flato Markham Theatre Nov 11 and the River Run Centre in Guelph Nov 12 2016.
