Named after a back road in Illinois farm country, Barber Greene hails from the golden corn fields of Dekalb, a simple town many local musicians have had the pleasure of calling home during college, or passing through while on tour. Though lead singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Matt Evert now hangs his hat in fast-paced Chicago, the calming, lyrical melodies he creates paint a dream-like picture  that lingers in the air like lightning bugs on a summer night. Barber Greene’s delightful vocal harmonies, sincere lyrics, and unique song structure puts listeners into a Grizzly Bear-ish haze. Barber Greene’s first 7-inch”Lion Living,” debuted on May 29th via Yes Club Records and Evert is in the middle of  his first full length album, due out later this fall. He recently released two awesome new tracks  “Guayana” and “Dream Freak” via Public House Records, which you check out below, along with the music video for the title track off “Lion Living.”
