Description

Beginning from a trio of siblings, Brothers 3 has grown in both size and scope, evolving an innovative, very unique sound. The group's various backgrounds in folk, rock, country and especially jazz, infuse their music with richly layered textures, lush vocals and World Beat harmonies and rhythms. Though primarily performing centuries old Celtic and European folk tunes, Brothers 3 proves that this is truly music for the ages. Aided by clever, contemporary arrangements and outstanding musicians, the music stands the test of time as Brothers 3 places it squarely in the 21st century.
