We enjoyed having the Nother brothers come play for my parents' bday party. They set up quick, played great music in not ideal conditions and had a positive attitude the whole time. Great guys, I recommend them for your event!

What to expect

The Nother Brothers duo turns every event into a concert folks will always remember. We perform music from the sixties, seventies, and eighties that will get folks singing, clapping, and dancing. The fellows cover material from a diverse array of artists, from The Beatles to Willie Nelson, all in an acoustic format with the best sound around.

The Nother Brothers are seasoned professionals. We arrive on time, set up with no fuss, and start on time, every time. We bring exactly what you'd expect from an entertainer: A great product (the music), a friendly and sincere attitude, and a band that helps your guests feel right at home.

We are also quite good at dealing with the numerous and often chaotic things that happen during events. We bring backups of everything and are prepared for anything.

Ask us, too, for help organizing the musical part of your event. We know how to create the most appropriate setup for your situation.

Additional booking notes

We typically bring our own sound system to events. We play both acoustic and electric guitars in a setup that guarantees comfortable listening volumes appropriate to your situation.

We prefer playing from a stage, large or small, though your front porch, patio, or living room is just fine.
