The Barr Brothers will perform the music of the Grateful Dead at Montreal’s Marché des Possibles this Sunday, August 30, as part of the Film POP series. The Barrs, who first made their name as members of The Slip, grew up on the Dead’s songbook and collaborated with Bill Kreutzmann in his Billy & The Kids project in 2023. The concert will take place after a screening of the new music film Summer Tour, which documents a young couple on Dead & Company’s final summer tour in 2023. A post from the Barrs reads, “We’re very excited to play some Grateful Dead music in Marché des Possibles for POP Montréal after a showing of summertourthefilm. For us, going to see the Grateful Dead play live in the 1990s was huge, we’re looking forward to paying tribute with some friends.”
