The Earl Brothers, a 4-piece, all-original string band from Northern
California, stands at the cutting-edge of a movement so new, it has
yet to be definitively named. Whether one chooses to describe them as
"Honky-Tonk Bluegrass," "Hillbilly Gothic," or "Neo-Traditional,"
there is one thing on which everyone seems to agree. There is
something about this band's "less is more" approach to songwriting,
singing, and musicianship that makes you stop whatever you're doing
and take notice.

For those who remember the goose-bumps they felt the first time they
heard the high-lonesome sound of Bill Monroe or the otherworldly
harmonies of the Stanley Brothers, that same thrill of discovery is
being created all over again by the Earl Brothers. Unlike other
traditional bluegrass bands that seek to re-create the music of the
original bluegrass masters, the Earl Brothers are blazing their own
trail, extending the genre, while simultaneously staying solidly
within the gritty tradition that started in the 1940s and 50s.
Listeners are left with a mix of exhilaration and bewilderment upon
their first exposure to this new-yet-old form of music. As one
listener remarked, "There is something mysterious that happens when
the Earl Brothers take the stage. I don't know what it is, but I don't
have to. I just know that something important is going on."
