It all started in late 1995,when a company of four guys decided to make a blues band. It took a lot of experimenting and rehearsing for the band to find its true path: Texas blues/rock! They decided to stick to a basic 4-piece format (2 guitars and vocals, bass, drums), though they occasionally enjoy playing with the addition of a saxophone, keyboards or additional guest vocalist.
Texas Brothers have played many gigs (in Athens mostly) in various clubs, pubs, parties etc (even at celebrations like one in the U.S. ambassadors house! and other unexpected occasions) Many people were introduced to the band when they opened some of the shows of Greeces top blues act, Blues Wire.They have also shared stage with American blues man Michael Dotson (former guitarist in the well known blues band Magic Slim and the Teardrops), Johnny Vavouras , Jim Ioannou from Blues Cargo and many others.
Texas Brothers play loud and proud Texas blues, pacing boogies, danceable swingin blues, rock n roll, rockabilly and old classic rock music. A few of their influences are : Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Dr. Feelgood, B.B.King, Z.Z.Top, Stray Cats, Albert Collins, Albert King, John Campbell, Elmore James, Buddy Guy, Freddie King ,T-Bone Walker, Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Eddie Cochran , George Thorogood ,Chris Duarte ,Otis Rush, Eric Clapton and many many more! Texas Brothers always perform with a lot of feeling, expressive guitar solos and vocals, driving grooves and real old vintage sound!
