Biography
Del Barber is a rambling gambling singer songwriter born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He has spent the last few years living, playing music, and telling stories in bars, cafes, houses and churches across the United States and Canada as well as festivals including Farm Fest, Winnipeg Folk Festâs young performers program, and Brandon Folk Festival. He has shared the stage with many artists including Jacob & Lily, Twilight Hotel, C.R. Averey, the Deep Dark Woods, and Catherine MacLellan.

Delâs musical influences include: Townes Van Zandt, Greg Brown, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, and Wilco among many others. Del is also heavily influenced by literary giants such as Farley Mowat, Wendell Berry, Jack Kerouac et al, and Kathleen Norris to name only a few. His own writing reflects his contrasting loves of the city and the country, a tension he welcomes with open arms.

Del's upcoming release "Where the City Ends" has been a long time coming, after what seem like endless home recordings and DIY realeases that have garnered him a dedicated fan base spread out across two countries, and air play on several University radio stations in the states. The album is a conversation about home, rootedness, community, faith, doubt and love. Produced by Jean-Paul Laurendeau, âWhere the City Endsâ reflects careful attention to acoustic space, colorful instrumentation and eclectic traditional elements. The resulting songs come off feeling patient, honest and friendly, despite Delâs glaring, albeit subtle lyrical commitment to culture critique.
