Word on the Street
“I’ve had the good fortune of being involved with Brothers Keeper for the past 3 years, both recording and performing live shows. Their musicianship and song writing is world-class and spot on. They will be gracing stages throughout the world soon. It is always my pleasure to join in with the Brothers.”
Glenn "Gmac" McClelland (Blood Sweat and Tears/ WEEN/ Smokey Robinson)
"Brothers Keeper is a rebellious rabble of hearty mountain warriors, raucously and relentlessly rewriting the remaining rules relating to rock & roll's real religious remnant Rockies style!! Ragtag tactics, touted to this tremendously tenured trio's tradecraft take on a tenacious tambour as this terrific team rollicks, wriggles & writes really meaningful melodic metal twanged tonnage of no trickery...
Just amazing asskickery!!
If you don't get a chance to play with them, get their disk at all costs! On iTunes, uptown, in house, or out back!!...You'll thank me when U do..."
John Popper (Grammy Award Winner, Blues Traveler Frontman)
“I saw "Brothers Keeper" live recently in Aspen Colorado and I was blown away. Even though I've played with Bassist Michael Jude and Drummer John Michel for many years the new line up is killer.
This band is a collection of songwriters, kick ass players and singers...that's pretty much sums up what I look for in a band… What they are.”
John Oates (Hall and Oates)
"I had the pleasure of sitting in with brother's keeper over a long weekend at the shakedown bar in vail. it was a joy to play w/such great musicians... solid, creative grooves, plenty of energy, plenty of chops, but plied with more creativity than ego... and everyone sings - WELL! (that's a rare thing). On top of all that, they're writing KILLER rock songs.
I’m looking forward to the release of the new record with a great deal of anticipation.
If you have the chance go see this band... go. It's great listening and you can dance the night away (and lemme tell ya, they do EXACTLY that at the shakedown bar)."
Mark Karan (Ratdog)
"Brothers Keeper should be recognized for making amazing organic music. Every time I have played with them I find myself learning more about their great musical talents…they are so much fun to play with and listen too as well. Their unique vocal arrangements and professional approach on their instruments are second to none.”
Richie Cannata (Billy Joel, Elton John)
