BROTHERS REID HOT NEW DEBUT SINGLE 'DO IT YOURSELF' OUT MONDAY 16TH AUGUST
Brothers Reid - an exciting new 5-piece folk/blues/bluegrass band from the North-East of Scotland. Based in rural Aberdeenshire the group take influence from their natural surroundings, blending a 70's bluesy tone with modern and traditional folk, creating an organic and original sound.
At the heart of this band is the tight song-writing duo of brothers Fish and Chris Reid on slide and acoustic guitars. Performing vocal duets and leading the band as they play foot stomping sets of original tunes laced with some classic fiddle, banjo and moothy lines by talented all rounder Rory Comerford.
'Do it Yourself' is the debut single from Brothers Reid and is an up–tempo, melodic hoe-down that is bursting with energy which, just like their live shows, is really not to be missed. This will be the 1st single form their forthcoming debut album due out on Fat Hippy in summer 2011 so watch this space!
Brothers Reid 'Do It Yourself' out Mon 16th August, available from various record shops and on iTunes, Napster, Spotify, hmv.com, play.com, eMusic etc
