The Baudelaire Brothers

About Me

The Baudelaire Brothers use the blues of the Mississippi Delta as the departure point for their increasingly adventurous musical journeys. Drawing in influences such as psychedelia, Celtic, Eastern, Americana, dance and pop they are creating new music which respects the tradition whilst taking it somewhere new. A stomping and enjoyable live act, they encourage dancing at their performances and it invariably breaks out. The Brothers have taken their medicine show to stadia, festivals, shebeens and taprooms too numerous and dubious to mention. Like a Jack Kerouac novel, no-one is really sure where any of this will end up.
