About Me |
|
| WE LOVE HARMONIES. being brothers makes us relatively harmonius. we play the ottawa pub circuit as an acoustic duo, so the cheesy organ stays in the basement for now. love all kinds of music, so the diverse influences find their way into our songs; presented on our CD "still waiting". The Standby Brothers: making ottawa just a little bit funner!
Check-em out live!
