The Woebegone Brothers showcase

6 ECHOES

This is a showcase of a band of brothers (real brothers) who haven't performed for many years but have actually played in Hoddesdon at John Warner school hall and also in the Robert Barclay School hall. One of the brothers John is a longtime resident in Rye Park. The brothers discovering that the first rock and roll performers were influenced by American black gospel singers and guitarists in the middle years of the 20th century - promoted this music by playing it in a way that can be described as gospel skiffle - acoustic music you can dance to. This showcase from their 2 albums is set up as an audio showcase to show the potential for audio installations using echoes XYZ to showcase local musical talent. Hopefully we can feature more local musicians going forward. But for now enjoy the Woebegone Brothers; the albums will be put on Bandcamp if you would like to download them. There are even cassettes if you still have a player!
