Description
Identical twins Adam and David Moss of The Brother Brothers bring their blood harmonies and real-life observations to carry on the folk tradition for a new generation. With minimal instrumentation, meaningful lyrics, and their incredible harmony blend, the siblings draw on the energy and creativity of Brooklyn, New York, for their full-length debut album, SOME PEOPLE I KNOW. Growing up in Peoria, Illinois, they sang along as children to their father's record collection of the Kingston Trio, the Everly Brothers, the Beatles, and the Beach Boys. After earning music degrees at the University of Illinois in Urbana- Champaign, the brothers set off on separate musical journeys. This project emerges from the number of years the brothers traveled across the country, both separately and together, playing in other ensembles and sometimes settling in separate cities. Reunited in Brooklyn, they were soon accepting invitations to open tours with Sarah Jarosz and Lake Street Dive. They'll join I'm With Her for an extensive fall 2018 tour in the US.

Description
Brooklyn-based Americana darlings The Brother Brothers release their debut album, 'Some People I Know'. on Compass Records. Billboard premiered the band's first offering, saying the track "reads like an open box of intimate Polaroids, showcasing the many faces and corners of the brothers' home."
Identical twins David and Adam Moss honor contemporary aches with the nostalgic tenderness of another time. Their stunning songcraft blends masterfully gentle guitar, cello and five-string fiddle with the sublime sort of two-part harmonies only brothers can carry. Their palpably fraternal stage presence and wonderfully familiar heart have earned repute among a modern folk scene; The Brother Brothers have opened for Big Thief, Lake Street Dive, Shakey Graves and more.
"[The Brother Brothers] approach their poignant and often charming songs with an almost startling sense of ease, and the tight harmonies are enough to send shivers down anyone's spine. Their ability to pull the listener into their quietly energetic musical journey is a joy to behold." â€” Sarah Jarosz
