The Bretheren

Introducing The Bretheren, a six piece Soul/Blues band from Atlanta, Georgia. The Bretheren have been playing around the Southeast for over fourteen years, individually all have been playing for over thirty years each. Our current lineup includes Myles Watkins on drums and percussion; Myles has an extensive gospel and rock background and gives us our drive. Glen Washington shows us his smooth and rich chord foundation and slick Wes Montgomery style picking. Larry Lester joins Glen on guitar with his Steve Cropper style of playing to enhance the solid rhythm section. Tony Westmoreland has joined the new Bretheren on Bass guitar...he only adds to the funky sounds of the group. Shirley Diamond, our female vocalist takes The Bretheren rhythm section and adds the polish with her incredible singing voice; Shirley is the epitome of a "Lady of Soul"and adds her charisma and style to the funky, driving, yet smooth music created by this talented combo. But we are really excited about our newest member Benji Wilhoite....Benji is our Blue Eyed soul singer, so our silky, funky soul blues will have a different flavor*Our extensive songlist leaves little uncovered in the world of dance music. Always ready for a challenge, The Bretheren are always updating and adding to this list.
