Robber Barons April 26, 2008

Exploding out of San Francisco's hotbed of musical creativity, The Robber Barons have elicited more descriptions of their music than can be counted. The word that keeps bubbling to the top is "fresh." Having been compared to artists as far reaching as Steve Earle and The Replacements, The Robber Barons run the gamut from Americana to alternative rock without abandoning a pop sensibility. This quintet is headed up by guitarist and singer Scotland Barr.
