BIOGRAPHY
The Sensational Barnes Brothers are a melting pot of the old and the new. As Pop Matters states, “The brothers run through a spectrum of moods and modes in their gospel soul, often bridging the gap between, say, the Soul Stirrers and Stax, all the while keeping a local flavor.” The brothers are able to dive deep into their roots, creating a sound that reflects the music of their history, all the while drawing in a modern-day audience.
The Sensational Barnes Brothers are featured on vocalists Don Bryant’s Grammy nominated album Don't Give Up on Love, lead singer of The Black Keys, Dan Auerbach, on his newest solo album, and you can expect to hear them on the soon to be released album from Latin Grammy nominated Making Movies.
The Sensational Barnes Brothers recorded their first album under the Bible and Tire Recording Co./Fat Possum. Inspired by their shared past, fueled by harmonies that resonate with both their blood and their kindred souls, The Sensational Barnes Brothers see themselves singing, playing, and dancing for a long time coming.
