Free performance of songs from his latest album, Headwaters.
Del Barber is a singer-songwriter from Winnipeg, whose lanky frame and cowboy slouch could make him a character straight out of a dustbowl novel. Experienced in the art of haphazard employment, for Barber, songwriting is a homecoming, a reconciliation of restlessness and experience.
Headwaters, Barber’s third album, picks up the trail with a set of prairie parables that lead through finely crafted confessionals and twang-kissed tales.
