This Birmingham-based band are winning the hearts and minds of the UK blues scene with their characterful groove, superior tones, seriously catchy songs and genuine Brummie friendliness, and the word is spreading fast. With the love of funk and blues dominating the band’s sound, and years spent soaking up the likes of The Average White Band, The Crusaders, James Taylor Quartet, Little Feat, Clapton, Robben Ford, SRV, Robert Cray and Albert Collins, in the respective funk and blues departments, Brothers Groove set out to make real music, music that they love and cherish. Their goal firmly intact, they have uniquely fused all these influences into a sound all of their own. Classic songs, riffs a-plenty, music to groove to. Their debut album Play The Game, produced by award winning producer Wayne Proctor (Oli Brown, King King, Aynsley Lister) is an expert exploration of all things blues and groove. The twin guitars of Shaun Hill and Nigel Mellor beautifully working together, and never in competition, to forge crafty, hook-laden rhythms with deep sonic landscapes. Add into this the Norman Watt-Roy informed bass of Deano Bass, and you have a wonderful blues alchemy at play. Their enthusiasm is as infectious on record as it is in a packed club, a fact every audience who has seen them perform will testify to.
