Wow! It's hard to write about the Brazos Brothers without also talking about the Brazos River.
The river begins in New Mexico. Then, in West Texas, we have the Double Mountain Fork, Running Water Fork and, what gave that Brazos coffee its great taste, the Salt Fork. Too bad we can't drink the water anymore.
Just as the waters of the river are varied, so are the Brazos Brothers songs. Since we have played music together and individually in various other settings for longer than I care to admit, folk, rock, country and a little jazz are all in there.
In 1986, Jack Stephenson, Rocky Randall and Garry Spradlin formed SRS Music with the intent of writing music strictly for sale to other artists. By the time I paddled alongside, they had two or three minnow buckets full of tunes. With the addition of my bass guitar, and the pedal steel in the studio, the performance side of the music began to emerge.
After hearing some of our "rough cuts", another brother from way back upstream invited us to his
recording studio, Rockhouse Studio, to record a few songs and see how they sounded under better conditions. We recorded two CD's but only released the last one, "Harmony Road".
Since the release of the Harmony Road CD, drummer Steve Hardin has come aboard to keep the time, add more punch to the bottom and hopefully, keep bringing the whiskey. We invite you also to come aboard and go with us as we drift past the sandbars, willow trees and sunsets of life's river, that flows always toward the deeper pool of water.Have you performed in front of an audience?We are currently the house band at "Billy's Bar and Bistro". It's great, we get a lot of rehersal time.
