Is there a better musical duo than a father and son? I would argue there isn’t. And if you disagree, I’d ask you to attend a live performance of Sweet M, a band led by Brian Barrie and his son Morgan. If you were in attendance for one of their shows this past weekend at the Heartwood Hall, you’ll know exactly what I mean. Damn, did they have a lot of fun on stage! They sold out back-to-back nights while unveiling their new album, ‘Til the Motor Quits with a full band behind them, a group of extremely talented local musicians comprised of Tyler Beckett, Andrew Carr, Jaret Koop, Brian Tannahill, and Bob Severs.

The effort was produced and arranged by Morgan Barrie, who also played all the instruments on the album, recorded at 9th Street Studios in Owen Sound, and all lyrics written by father Brian. The album release party brought these songs to a live venue where the lyricist got to show just how much of rock star he really is. He commands the stage and led the crowd into each song with seamlessly entertaining dialogue.
