"The Accidental Brothers" are an acoustic group that can play as either a duo or a trio. We play an upbeat & fun combination of Country, Acoustic Rock, Standards & Americana covering some of the greatest singer-songwriters ever. A night with the Accidental Brothers will include songs by Bob Dylan, Lyle Lovett, The Band, The Grateful Dead, Keb’ Mo’, Jim Croce, Patty Griffin, Tom Waites and many more. We have a great time with our audience and keep the evening fun and relaxed. The Accidental Brothers are a different type of acoustic group than you would normally see in that we all play multiple instruments that add spice and variety to our arrangements.
