Andrew Gilmore Barr is a drummer, composer, and producer based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada who is best known for his work with Mumford & Sons, The Barr Brothers, Feist, and The Slip. Barr is a founding member of the experimental rock band The Slip and indie folk group The Barr Brothers along with his brother Brad Barr.

In this episode, Andrew talks about:

How he now views touring as down time, away from regular home/family life and making decisions about touring family decisions

Adjusting to the larger scale of the Mumford & Sons touring apparatus and the shows’ sing along feel 

The difference between volume and energy

When more people heard less music

Finding the things you can “do you” in

Getting over envy or shyness so you can cheerlead your fellow drummers 

Lifelong musical partnership and multiple projects with his brother Brad

Learning to be musically and creatively linear, not adhering to any patterns
