Location: Omaha | The Holmes Brothers are incredible, and that isn't saying enough about their talent, passion, and energy.
The two brothers names are Wendell (electric & acoustic guitar, piano, organ, most lead vocals) and Sherman (bass, some lead vocals, backing vocals), along with Popsy Dixon (drums, some lead vocals, backing vocals and awesome falsetto!).
Start with their latest album, Simple Truths, and work you're way back from there. LOTS of great music. |
