Identical twins The Brother Brothers are coming thru. Folk duo singing live harmonies from essentially the same voice? Yes, please! And local sweethearts Dissimilar South are hitting us with some more excellent indie Americana.
THE BROTHER BROTHERS

The Brother Brothers are the indie folk duo of Adam and David Moss. The identical twins were born and raised in Peoria, Illinois and originally based in Brooklyn, but have been ultimately and profoundly shaped by a life surrounded by travel and the web of community worldwide. They are the kind of people who have a story about everything, and moreso, one you might genuinely like to hear.
American Songwriter once said, “no matter what musical context Adam and David Moss may come to put themselves in, what the duo want to say through music will always come to show the beauty that exists—even in the deepest cracks—of human living.” Proclaims No Depression, “the warm harmonies and silky melodies of identical twins David and Adam Moss evoke the kind of ’60s-era folk tunes that reverberated through dark, wood-paneled bars in the Village… If these brothers aren’t among the Americana Music Association’s nominees for Emerging Artist or Duo-Group, I want a recount.”
The Brother Brothers’ luminous touring career spans international headlining, support runs with the likes of Keb Mo, I’m With Her, Big Thief, Lake Street Dive, and Shakey Graves, as well as key plays at NPR’s Mountain Stage, FreshGrass Festival, Folk Alliance, Woodford Folk, Nelsonville Music Festival, and Edmonton Folk among others.

Since their debut album Tricky Things (2022), North Carolina-based Americana duo, Dissimilar South, has been likened to both Indigo Girls and Boygenius, locating them in the abundant space between folk and indie rock. Their refreshing sound is characterized by candid lyrics, luscious harmonies and exciting instrumental ideas. While grounded in an ethos of folk music, Dissimilar Sound finds themselves enjoying the expansive realm of indie music, calling upon synthesizers, drum kits, and electric guitars to bring their songs to life.
