Simms Brothers Band

About Me

The immensely popular concert act, the Simms Brothers Band, has reunited. One of the only Connecticut acts to ink a worldwide contract with Elektra Records, the band consistently packed legendary area venues like Westport's Players Tavern and New Haven's Toad's Place. Legions of fans lined the streets at Simms Brothers performances. Having rehearsed the original songs that brought them notoriety, the band will also perform Beatles, Steely Dan, and other favorites. At one reunion, Peter Frampton, with whom the band toured, showed up and rendered a truly electric performance. Collectively, the members of the band currently work with some of the most noteworthy names in the entertainment world and enjoy a reputation among their peers and fans as serious musicians and singers who consistently deliver a great show. Don't miss these live performances!
