Big Barrel Country Music Festival: The Bros. Landreth

‘Twenty-seven years. Four bandmates. Two brothers. One album. ‘ That is how the band The Bros. Landreth explains themselves. Let It Lie is the album that helped put these brothers on the map. The band is anchored by the bluesy wail of electric guitars, the swell of B3 organ and the harmonized swoon of two voices that were born to mesh.

The band was the perfect act to start off the weekend at Big Barrel Country Music Festival; they were full of energy and knew how to rock the crowd. Music has been apart of the brothers blood for many years, starting when David and Joey Landreth began attending their dad’s shows as toddlers. It was no surprise that this was not their first site at a concert venue, or performing for a large crowd. Despite the time of day the band played, there was still a large crowd who seemed to enjoy the music. The band says they have always been around music and that they were ‘baptized into it.’

At large scale country music festival’s like Big Barrel, less known bands such as The Bros. Landreth get major exposure to country music fans who are attending the festival to see performers like Blake Shelton, Jake Owen, Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood. The Bros. Landreth even mentioned a few times that the crowd may not of heard of them before, but they were gracious for the attention.
