The Bashful Brothers have been delighting audiences with their unique blend of Bluegrass, Folk, Celtic, Pop and Old Time music for the past fifteen years! They are Riders in the Sky, The Boys of the Lough, The Soggy Bottom Boys (O', Brother Where Art Thou?), The Everly Brothers, The Stanley Brothers, and the Kingston Trio all in one!
BLUEGRASS UNLIMITED called Goin' South "an enjoyable and satisfying listening experience... the Bashful's mix harmonies as if they were the seasoning in a masterfully flavored entree."
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE writes, "Goin' South is a crisp, glowing effort, replete with Pickren's plucky originals"
Your music was a true compliment to my dinner party"
-Oprah Winfrey
Goin' South features the magical mandolin of honorary Bashful Brother Don Stiernberg.
The Bashful Brothers was formed in 1993 with Rick Pickren, Jerry Eliason and Peter Seman.
They spent eight fruitful years playing the Sunday Bluegrass Brunch at The Blackhawk Lodge.
Many celebrities enjoyed brunch with the Brothers including Oprah Winfrey, Steve Guttenberg and Yoko Ono.
