Earlier this spring, The Brother Brothers partnered up with old friends — folk darling Sarah Jarosz and bassist Jeff Picker — at a house in Nashville to create a stunning rendition of “Colorado,” taken from The Brother Brothers’ debut album SOME PEOPLE I KNOW out now on Compass Records. Intimate acoustics and three-part harmonies demonstrate the striking talent of these musicians. Today, Billboard premiered the “stirring” performance, calling it “a gentle, winsome elegy.”
This is The Brother Brothers’ first release since beloved single “Siren Song,” which drew critical comparison to the “the close harmonies and gentle melodies of Simon & Garfunkel” from Brooklyn Vegan and topped Spotify’s Fresh Folk playlist, amassing nearly four million streams. The band are currently on tour in Europe and recently stopped by BBC Radio 3 for a live, in-studio performance. Listen here.
The Brother Brothers’ first full-length release transcended genres, drawing acclaim from press including Rolling Stone Country, NPR, Billboard and more, as well as fervent attention from playlists like Spotify’s Fresh Folk, Infinite Acoustic, and Front Porch, Amazon’s Brushland and YouTube’s Coffee Shop Blend. The band spent the bulk of their time following on the road, including runs with Folk Music Awards’ Artist of the Year I’m With Her (of which Sarah Jarosz is one third), Mipso and Dead Horses in addition to extensive headlining runs. This year has been one of massive milestones for the indie folk duo, having sold out venues in Los Angeles, Chicago and London among others, and made pivotal appearances at NPR’s Mountain Stage, SXSW, Folk Alliance International, and Nelsonville Music Festival.
