A six-piece band with the widest and wildest repertoires, The Brothers’ music spans the 1700s to the present in a spicy gumbo of roadhouse, roots country, blues, honky-tonk, New Orleans, R&B, rock & roll and old time jazz. They call it juke-joint swamp rock.
The band is Claes Almroth, Doug Marx, Allan Lemley, Dave Duffield, J.Michael Kearsey and Dennis Elmer. Their high energy improvisation and soulful vocals blends the band’s originals with wild and obscure covers. Get a taste at reverbnation.com/reverbbrothers.
