https://lied.ku.edu/?event=brother-brothersThe Brother Brothers are the indie folk duo of Adam and David Moss. The identical twins were born and raised in Peoria, IL and originally based in Brooklyn, but have been ultimately and profoundly shaped by indiscriminate rambling. They are the kind of people who have a story about everything, and more so, one you might genuinely like to hear.
Cover to Cover, their third release on Compass Records, is a requisite album of cover songs inspired by an inward reflection during a time of great uncertainty and creative insecurity. “When you’re not quite sure what to say, why not say what someone else said, but say it in your voice.” The Brother Brothers sing from the heart, no matter whose words they’re using. The message may be the same, but when you find one to amplify, “why not say it again?” The brothers called in some good old friends to play on the album, including Rachael Price (Lake Street Dive), Sarah Jarosz, Michaela Anne, Alison Brown, and hired some of Nashville’s finest session musicians—namely Jeff Picker (Ricky Skaggs), Matthew Meyer, Ryan Scott and Michael Rinne.
American Songwriter once said, “no matter what musical context Adam and David Moss may come to put themselves in, what the duo wants to say through music will always come to show the beauty that exists—even in the deepest cracks of human living.” Proclaims No Depression, “the warm harmonies and silky melodies of identical twins David and Adam Moss evoke the kind of 60s-era folk tunes that reverberated through dark, wood-paneled bars in the Village….If these brothers aren’t among the Americana Music Association’s nominees for Emerging Artist or Duo-Group, I want a recount.”
The Brother Brothers’ luminous touring career spans international headlining, supporting runs with the likes of I’m With Her, Big Thief, Lake Street Dive and Shakey Graves, as well as key plays at NPR’s Mountain Stage, FreshGrass Festival, Folk Alliance, Woodford Folk, Nelsonville Music Festival and Edmonton Folk, among others.
