Heather Masse and her five piece band of Barbarians present an elegant, insistent melange of jazz, country-blues, folk, soul, and rock and roll. Shifting plainly between reverie and sobriety and braced all the while by a rampant tenderness, the Barbarians craft a artful sound that demands, engages, and soothes. With a growing repertoire of stunningly-arranged originals and cover-songs, the Barbarians, who formed at the New England Conservatory of Music, relocated to Brooklyn in 2005. In 2006, Heather & the Barbarians recorded their debut LP and released Tell Me Tonight the following year.
