Its one of our compositions,dating back to 1998.It sure sounds like Texas Blues/rock!
We are a band from Athens,Greece playing texas blues,rock n roll,classic rock,rockabilly and most other kinds of bluesy music (like swingin' blues etc...) we play together for at least ten years.Band/artist history
It all started in late 1995,when a company of four guys decided to make a blues band. It took a lot of experimenting and rehearsing for the band to find its true path: Texas blues/rock! They decided to stick to a basic 4-piece format (2 guitars and vocals, bass, drums), though they occasionally enjoy playing with the addition of a saxophone, keyboards or additional guest vocalist. Texas Brothers have played many gigs (in Athens mostly) in various clubs, pubs, parties etc (even at celebrations like one in the U.S. ambassadors house! and other unexpected occasions) Many people were introduced to the band when they opened some of the shows of Greeces top blues act, Blues Wire.They have also shared stage with American blues man Michael Dotson (former guitarist in the well known blues band Magic Slim and the Teardrops), Johnny Vavouras , Jim Ioannou from Blues Cargo and many others. Texas Brothers play loud and proud Texas blues, pacing boogies, danceable swingin blues, rock n roll, rockabilly and old classic rock music. A few of their influences are : Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Dr. Feelgood, B.B.King, Z.Z.Top, Stray Cats, Albert Collins, Albert King, John Campbell, Elmore James, Buddy Guy, Freddie King ,T-Bone Walker, Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Eddie Cochran , George Thorogood ,Chris Duarte ,Otis Rush, Eric Clapton and many many more! Texas Brothers always perform with a lot of feeling, expressive guitar solos and vocals, driving grooves and real old vintage sound!Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes! we live to play live. we play often...mostly in athens
Your musical influences
all kinds of blues,texas guitar-heavy blues mostly!,classic rock,rock 'n' roll,rockabilly,swing,hard rockWhat equipment do you use?
Texas Brothers have quite a lot of gear to select from, according to what style of music they are going to play. They usually have a lot of stratocasters, some real old ones and some custom-made, teles, les pauls and hollowbodies (like a great Brian Setzer model Gretch guitar!). For amplification, they always use old tube amplifiers like blackface Fenders (super reverb, twin reverb and deluxe reverb) and old, classic and modified Marshals. For effects they always used old stomp boxes or some new modified ones and even a few custom made! They always try to have that Texas twangy stratocaster sound, but not only that! Searing lead sounds with razorblade highs, fat Gibson tones with thick mids and deep bottom-end and fuzzy, crazy, psychedelic Hendrix reminiscent solos are all part of a Texas Brothers performance!
