Bobby Bare Jr., son of Country Music Hall of Famer Bobby Bare, is touring in support of his latest release, Undefeated. The album is “10 songs of reality checks, clever wordplay and daring arrangement, the aural companion to that buddy who pulls up a barstool next to yours to help soak away your sorrows,” according to a press release. Many of the tracks on his latest are more rock ‘n’ roll and roots than the strictly country sound one might expect. And despite being born into Nashville’s Music Row elite, it’s clear that Bare has blazed a path and style of songwriting all his own. Bare will play a show at The Grey Eagle on Saturday, July 26, at 9 p.m. $10/$12. thegreyeagle.com. Photo by Joshua Black Wilkins
