I picked up the debut album from Middle Brother earlier this week and instantly became a fan. If you haven't heard of Middle Brother you may know some of the member's other bands. John McCauley of Deer Tick, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes, and Matt Vasquez of Delta Spirit joined forces forming a indie/folk mega-group along the lines of Monsters of Folk. The result of that collaboration is a remarkable album full of folk/rock songs reminiscent of other 'Brother' acts The Avett Brothers and The Felice Brothers.
Middle Brother are currently out on tour supporting the album, including a stop at the SXSW Music Festival. A recording of their performance in Boston earlier this month is available to download at Visible Voice. As with the album I was captivated by their heartfelt and powerful live performance. Hopefully they'll swing by my way sometime soon. Take a listen to "Blue Eyes" and "Theater" from their show in Boston below.
