BIO:
Sons and Brothers Band is the Wolking brothers from Westcliffe, Colorado. They continue to captivate audiences with their fusion of americana, gospel, western and country-rock music inspired by the band’s founding father, Frank Wolking. Colorado’s premier brother band, Sons and Brothers bring a unique energy, instrumental prowess and tight, powerful family harmony to the roots music genre. Rooted solidly in the Mountain West, the band describes its brand of music as “West Grass” - songs with Western and Gospel themes, fused with a unique playing style that draws from genres as diverse as bluegrass, swing, country and Gospel. Each performance features a dynamic contrast of songs and sounds ranging from stirring ballads and powerful gospel numbers to fire breathing instrumentals, poignant stories of family life, mountains, range and the American West.
Sons and Brothers builds a personal connection with audiences by sharing the good-natured relationships within the family and presenting insightful introductions mixed with doses of irrepressible humor. The band is composed of brothers and sons Mike Wolking (vocals, dobro, banjo and lead guitar), Aaron Wolking (lead vocals and bass) and Joe Wolking (vocals, mandolin and fiddle), with everybody’s favorite Uncle, Fred Wolking (guitar and vocals), Old Time Country fiddle treasure of Denver, Colorado, Johnny Neill, and percussionist extraordinaire Brian McClure.
Sons and Brothers have traveled, with great success, to concerts and festivals in numerous states over the past ten years, as well as Scotland, England and Wales. According to Dave Higgs, columnist for Bluegrass Now magazine, “It’s not only Sons and Brothers powerful paint-peeling vocals that make them one of the most strikingly original band in Bluegrass, but it’s their sound…an arresting brand of Bluegrass, flavored by the wide open spaces, grandeur and panoramic majesty of the West.”
