533 - Andrew Barr: Playing with Mumford & Sons, The Barr Brothers, and Feist, Finding Ways to "Do You",

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
