Overview

The Talbott Brothers were born and raised in Imperial, Ne, a rural town located a stone's throw from the Colorado and Kansas border consisting of 2000 people. Siblings Nick and Ty started writing songs at a young age after discovering their dad’s old guitar and vinyl collection and being introduced to rock and roll, blues and country music. Their song ‘We Got Love’ (2017) brought them national recognition selling out shows across the US and their albums ‘Ghost Talker’ (2019) and ‘Letters’ (2022) garnered attention from 'Rolling Stone,’ 'Billboard' and 'The Boot' calling their music “cinematic,” “captivating blood harmonies” and "for fans of John Mayer, Mumford & Sons and Jason Isbell.”

AMAZING!

The Talbott Brothers were the PERFECT fit for our event. Not only are Nick and Tyler amazing musicians, they are just awesome people. We had a group of 70 in an indoor venue; Nick & Tyler played the perfect set of songs, perfect sound, and as the night was finishing - no one wanted them to stop playing! Highly, highly recommend, and we will most definitely be hiring The Talbott Brothers again!

Just what we were looking for

We hired the Talbott Brothers to provide music for a non-profit fundraiser event and couldn't be happier with their performance. They provided just the vibe we were hoping for; music that was enjoyable, that you could have a conversation (it was a fundraising event) during, and that made you stop and listen every now and then. They hit on all fronts here and had the audience stopping and listening way more then talking.

We're so grateful for the time and talent they provided and that we got them at this stage of their career because they are definitely a band on the way up.

Hired as: Folk Singer

Fantastic Performance

We were happy to find that the Talbott brothers were available for our family celebration. Their music was original, fresh, and expressive. I can't say enough about their harmony and incredible talent. We would absolutely book them again.

What to expect

The Talbott Brothers blend storytelling with a mix of upbeat and slow-dance songs consisting of both covers and originals. They provide an enjoyable evening of entertainment and can cater to any event style including small/large private events, bars/festivals, weddings and corporate events...etc. They have entertaining stage banter that comes natural from being brothers and have toured across the US, Canada and Mexico for the last 7+ years. They're flexible and easy to work with and have nothing but positive reviews from everyone they've worked with.

About

The Talbott Brothers were born and raised in Imperial, Nebraska, a small midwest town located a stone's throw from the Colorado and Kansas border. Brothers Nick and Ty started writing songs as kids after discovering their dad’s old guitar and being introduced to rock and roll, blues and country music. Since forming a band in the Pacific Northwest they've toured extensively building a reputation for energetic, emotionally charged live shows. Rolling Stone, Billboard and The Boot describe them as “cinematic” with “captivating blood harmonies" and "for fans of John Mayer, Mumford & Sons and Jason Isbell." Holler calls their new album “raw and unapologetic” - ‘Borderlands’ is out now.

Additional booking notes

House sound and lighting is always great when available, however, The Talbott Brothers travel with their own sound system and lighting, so please contact us and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs for any occasion!
