PEACE and LOVE from Brother2Brother. Welcome to our cyber-home!! We have been working on our second CD titled “Texas Blues Rocks”. We recorded six songs at Sugar Hill Studios in the summer of '09. In January 2010 we moved to Southwest Recording Studios to complete the project. Southwest Studios is where the first B2B CD was recorded in '07.
We have some great new originals written by JC and Norm, as well as Norm's arrangement of “Summertime” and Lowboy’s arrangement of “Cool Guitars.” Many B2B fans requested that we put these songs on the next CD and we listened! Look for our CD release in 2010.
In late 2006, the first B2B CD titled "Lookin' for Texas" was placed on the official ballot for the 2007 Grammy Awards, in two catagories. The song "Power to Drive the Blues Away" was placed in the Rock Category 16 - Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals (duo, group or collaborative performances with vocals -Singles or Tracks only). The actual CD placed in the Blues Category 66 - Best Contemporary Blues Album (Vocal or Instrumental). We're ready to do it again. Check out the News page for full story.
In that same year, B2B placed 7th out of over 100,000 bands from around the world in the Ultimate Band List contest!! Read more about this, too, on our News page!!
Brother2Brother follows in the footsteps of great Texas Bluesmen such as T-Bone Walker, Albert Collins and Stevie Ray Vaughan, and great Blueswomen such as Bonnie Raitt, Lou Ann Barton and Etta James. In addition to their faithful Rock, Blues and R&B covers, the all original CD, "Lookin' for Texas" is a part of the evolution of Texas Blues, incorporating a wide variety of influences from the world of Rock, Country, Jazz, and Blues. The CD received quite a bit of airplay in their home base of Houston, Texas on KPFT 90.1 FM. The Brothers in music were the cover story in the September issue of "North of the Border" entertainment guide, that year. "Lookin' for Texas" also received glowing reviews in "Music News" and "The Scene", two more Houston area mags. B2B can be heard on Blues Programs in Canada, Argentina, Belgium, and around the world!! They have also received airplay on KEOS 89.1 FM College Station, TX, Midnight Blues-Online Blues Radio, NewOrleansRadio.com, and many others. Check out the LINKS page for more!
Two of the founding members, bass player Mike “Lowboy” Leubner and keyboardist Norm Uhl, formed B2B in Jan 2003 after honing their chops backing up Texas recording artist Gene Kelton of Mean Gene Kelton and the Diehards. Well known Blues Vocalist Sandy Hickey and guitarist extraordinaire Jon Cometta joined the band in late 2007. Rock steady drummer Dan Jones made up the rest of the musical team. In the fall of 2009, Lowboy decided to leave the band and pursue another form of music. Ernie Diaz has joined the band to play bass and adds a whole new dimension to the ever evolving sound of B2B.
