about

Colorful and surprisingly hum-able vocal melody and harmony ideas wrapped around the shoulders of traditional bluegrass-style picking. Encouragingly lonesome, and various shades of blue. This music reminds us that not all bluegrass sounds the same.

"This new album fits tastefully into the bluegrass genre. It's energy and honesty evoke fond memories of classic recordings similar in style to the early Country Gentlemen." - Charles Humphrey III of The Steep Canyon Rangers

"Dear Brother offers new music that sounds old but in a powerful way. String band music with real heart and from the heart of the Southern Roots Music region of Western North Carolina. Great arrangements, picking, singing and original music that will draw you in and make you feel at home. Dear Brother shows that fine traditional music is not a thing of the past!"-Ty Gilpin, Organic Records

"The Hours has refreshingly sensitive vocals and songs alongside solid authentic picking. Dear Brother is bringing the mountain music traditions of Western North Carolina into a broader arena. Swink’s heartfelt lead vocals are honest and vulnerable."
- Anya Hinkle, Tellico
