Brothers Egg (Album Release)

Brothers Egg formed in 2015 in Wilmington, NC when brothers James and Hunter Eggleston teamed-up with Suzanna Crist to forge a vibrant, individual sound from their wide range of instruments and musical influences. Their music reflects an eclectic and driving blend of Roots Rock, Bluegrass, Country and World Music.

Brothers Egg hatched after James spent time living in South Africa, where he honed his ear for African rhythms and melodies while while traveling and surfing around the country. In the meantime, Hunter thru-hiked, solo the 2,200 mile Appalachian Trail where he gained a newfound appreciation for American roots music and Appalachian bluegrass. The brothers returned home with new song ideas and a fresh approach to songwriting.

Suzanna Crist was discovered by James at an open mic night at Grinders Café in Wilmington, NC. Upon hearing her sing and play, James decided to play some of his own songs and asked Suzanna if she would sit in on violin. A strong musical connection was felt, and a positive reaction from the room followed. Weekly jam sessions ensued and Suzi eventually accepted the brothers invitation to join the band. Contributing tasteful fiddle hooks and harmonies, Suzanna brings a unique musical element to the Brothers Egg.

James and Hunter’s father, Dave Eggleston played drums and recorded with some infamous R&B and rock bands out of Richmond, VA in the 1980’s  and now frequently joins his kids on stage behind the drum kit. Papa Eggs brings a solid & seasoned feel to the BE sound and plays on their first release, Bleeding Slow, as well as their upcoming LP All for You.

Jimmy Thompson was spotted in Raleigh, NC while playing bass with the alt. country outfit the Debonzo Brothers. James took note of his tasteful playing, and when the band relocated to Raleigh, Jimmy was asked to join. A veteran of the Raleigh music scene, Jimmy’s playing is unassuming yet packs with a punch.

Live performances have been described as high energy, musically stimulating, and a hidden gem.

Brothers Egg plans to release their debut LP All for You, in early 2018.
