Philip Bradford "Brad" Barr (born July 27, 1975), better known by "Brad Barr," is an American-Canadian 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, and his father Philip Duane Barr, a once practicing orthodontist, 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." This event lead to the inspiration for the titular track of The Barr Brothers' fourth studio album; Queens of The Breakers.
