New Live Album
Well respected musical siblings John & Rick Brewster are very proud to announce the arrival of their latest album performing as the Brewster Brothers.
Titled “Live @ Lizotte’s” this new release of over a dozen tracks was recorded at shows across three nights during the Autumn of 2012.
Emblematic of their inate ability to engage music lovers from all walks of life, the result clearly displays an ever present set of skills that the pair continue to command as they entertain inside the new raft of fine dining venues which have been opened across the country during the course of the last decade.
Although the Brewster Brothers are able to, and often do, perform their music simply as two players on the stage they have lately almost always presented their stories and songs as a four piece electro-acoustic outfit. Despite offering up some tracks which are solo and duo presentations “Live @ Lizotte’s” mostly sets the tone by using that same four piece approach as its mainstay.
Whilst there has been a fleet of musicians who have enjoyed taking the stage with Rick & John over the years it is most probable that these days you will find them in the company of the two players who make up the band heard on this new album.
Long time family friend Nick Norton is recognised by many as a multi-talented performer and on this album not only provides the drumming but he also manages to peel off a very interesting acoustic guitar solo and provide a whole slab of backing vocals. Sam Brewster, who is a next generation representative of the family, rounds out the line up by keeping a keen connection between the rhythm and the melody as he lays down the bass guitar parts across all the songs.
“We’re wrapped in this album”, remarks John Brewster – “…it represents a great cross section of my love of Bob Dylan’s music, Rick’s early years learning traditional keyboards, our union as songwriters and of course our long time experience in The Angels. Even my son Tom has made a guest appearance on the drums in the track Devil’s Gate, and during the entire time we made the record we were surrounded by a whole host of people we love and respect….it really shows in the end result.”
There are some excerpts of the recorded tracks from “Live@Lizotte’s” available to hear on the “Music Page” of this web site.
