Their music is some kind of folk-country-rock hybrid, like if a campfire learned to play guitar, built around big harmonies, acoustic guitars and songs about life, love and whatever else happens after a few whiskeys. People on the internet seem to really like it. In fact, their videos keep “going viral,” which I originally thought meant they needed antibiotics, but apparently it’s a good thing.
Hi, um… this is the bio for The Whiskey Brothers, who are actual brothers named George and Howard Morritt. They’re singer-songwriters from Derbyshire, which I think is in… England? Geography isn’t my strength.They’ve been playing music together since birth, which feels medically unlikely, but they insisted I keep that in.
They first got people’s attention by putting their own spin on songs they loved, but somewhere along the way people started listening to the songs they’d written themselves too. Quite a lot of people, actually. Their original music blends folk, country and rock with big choruses, close brotherly harmonies and the occasional lyric that might accidentally make you feel something.
They’re now writing and releasing more of their own music, while continuing to occasionally take someone else’s perfectly good song and Whiskey-Brothers-ify it.Anyway, they like whiskey a lot, so please don’t offer them water unless it’s an emergency.They also love performing live, particularly when people know the words to songs they actually wrote, which still seems to surprise them.If you want them to come to your city, they will probably say yes immediately.
