CBC Radio 3 Artist - Matthew Barber

Toronto, ON

Genres: Alt Pop, Pop Singer Songwriter

Label: Outside Music

Ghost Notes is the title of a stunning new record by acclaimed Canadian singer-songwriter Matthew Barber, his first since 2005's Sweet Nothing. Produced by Barber and engineered by Ken Friesen, Ghost Notes departs from Barber's most recent efforts in that it emphasizes the moodier, more stripped-down side of his songwriting. Recorded in six gray November days at the famed Bathouse studio near Kingston, Ontario, Ghost Notes is the culmination of almost two years of writing and demoing, and stands as Barber's most mature record to date. It will be released on the Outside Music label in Canada on March 4, 2008. Accordingly, Matthew will be teaming up with his sister Jill Barber for the much anticipated SIBLING REVELRY TOUR across Canada, which kicks off Feb.28th at the Black Sheep Inn in Wakefield, Quebec. Complete tour dates will be announced shortly. * * *
